Enter To Win Days of the Dead: A Year of True Ghost Stories
Are you brave enough to spend every day of the year with ghosts?
In the Edo period in Japan (1603-1867), samurai warriors would test their
bravery with the game of 100 Ghosts. They would light a hundred candles in a
dark room, and tell ghost stories. At the end of each story, the storyteller
would blow out one candle, and the room would grow darker, and darker...When the
last tale was told, and the last candle blown out, the samurai would be sitting
in the dark, surrounded by a hundred ghosts who'd been summoned by the
storytelling.
So - are you braver than a samurai?
Here in this book, paranormal reporter Sylvia Shults has collected 366 ghost
stories, one for every single day of the year. There's a story for your
birthday. There's a story for your pet's birthday. There's a story to make every
day spooky. Open the cover and peek inside, if you dare.
"Sylvia Shults is the best nonfiction paranormal writer I've ever read. Her
wealth of history and paranormal knowledge combines with a literate and very
approachable writing style to seduce even the skeptical." -- Tamara Thorne,
author of The Cliffhouse Haunting
About the Author
Sylvia Shults is the author of several books of paranormal nonfiction, including
44 Years in Darkness, Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital,
and Ghosts of the Illinois River. She sits in dark, spooky, haunted places so
you don't have to. She has spent the last nineteen years working at a public
library, slowly smuggling out enough words in her pockets week after week to
build a book of her own. She lives a short, ten-minute motorcycle ride away from
the haunted asylum that features in so many of her books. She considers it the
highest privilege to share the incredible, compassionate history of the Peoria
State Hospital. After battling an intense, lifelong fear of the dark, Sylvia
decided to become a ghost hunter. (What WAS she thinking?) As a paranormal
investigator, she has made many media appearances, including a tiny part in the
Ghost Hunters episode Prescription for Fear, about the Peoria State Hospital.
Sylvia loves hearing from her readers, especially when they have spooky stories
of their own to share with her.
