Geraldine Ryan-Lush strikes again, in this, her latest offering of ghost tales, quickly being hailed as some of her most deliciously shivery work yet, in this amazing collection of true ghost stories from across Newfoundland! A busy, industrial production plant in Pleasantville, NL, once used as a morgue in WW2, is home to resident apparitions of soldiers, and poltergeist activity on a regular basis, leaving workers numb with terror, who dare not report the hauntings, for fear of reprisal. Who IS the girl on the road in Maddox Cove, who entices unsuspecting drivers to her aid, only to leave them paralysed with fear? A hobby period- photography enthusiast buys an impressive 1900 portrait of children in a Water Street antique shop , only to discover the genteel children from another century are anything but rested in their new abode. Terror awaits! And it's not only in the film "Psycho" does one stay in an Inn which mysteriously has no other guests. Try Twillingate! From cell phones that are possessed, to a dead taxi driver who can't leave his cabbie, to Crisis Apparitions from London, England, to a skeptical Conception Bay police officer's trauma, the many stories in this collection will tantalize, terrorize, bewilder, and defy truth. But amazingly, they ARE TRUE, and delectably served up by one of Newfoundland's most prolific authors, who has already proven herself master of the paranormal genre, with her best-selling and shivers galore "Hannigan's Hand" books, constantly in the same company as James Patterson and Stephen King! Utilizing substantive, orally-rendered encounters, and pepperings of historical research as perspective, the author theorizes, mesmerizes and holds you spellbound. Settle back and enjoy the ride, but make sure you have company in the next room. You just may need them!ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Geraldine Ryan-Lush was born and raised in St. Joseph's, St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, in a rich and vibrant storytelling culture.
