Scary tales from Nova Scotia, by the author of The Tatterdemon Omnibus and Where the Ghosts Are: A Guide to Nova Scotia’s Spookiest Places.
 
This is a collection of ghost stories from Nova Scotia—from the restless spirits of Devil’s Island to the Black Dog of Antigonish Harbour. Documented and well-known stories from the provincial archives are mixed with word-of-mouth legends of strange happenings and scary sightings from across the province. Author Steve Vernon relies on his storytelling experience to create moody and terrifying tales from the annals of history.
 
Praise for Steve Vernon
 
“Writing with a rare swagger and confidence, Steve Vernon can lead his readers through an entire gamut of emotions from outright fear and repulsion to pity and laughter.” —Cemetery Dance
