This well-written collection of 16 short stories by four talented Kansas authors provides us with eerie tales of ghosts that range from the kind and benevolent to the creepy/crawly to the truly frightening and malevolent. Set in America's Heartland, with apparitions ranging from a loving cat, a daring barnstormer, a handsome bachelor, a grieving mother, a beloved school teacher, a childhood friend to residents of a lost city of old, the tales encompass time periods from the days of the early settlers to the present. Troy Taylor, Founder of the American Ghost Society, has written a compelling introduction for TRESPASSING TIME, and he's an expert in the field.
I became so immersed in this superb collection of hauntings, I couldn't put it down until I'd turned the final page. Then I yearned for more. Whether you believe in ghostly spirits inhabiting our surroundings or not, these spellbinding tales will make you think a little more about things that go bump in the night (and the day). An excellent reading experience!
Sixteen frightening, heartwarming, amusing and spellbinding
stories from Americaβs Heartland, spanning pioneer days to
the present.
...is there really anything as eerie as the vast open
fields and dark stands of woods that stretch across
Americaβs Heartland? What awaits us in this strange and
unfamiliar region and what tragic ghosts still walk in the
lonely places where no one can hear you when you scream?
The prairie of America can be a mysterious place and, to
those who come from the more populated regions, a strangely
unsettling one. Even to those of us who grew up on the
prairie, itβs hard to know what sometimes lurks around the
next corner of the road, or around the next bend in the
path.
