Ranging from the 18th century to the present and from Beacon Hill to windswept Cape Ann, Holly Nadler's collection of true ghost stories from Boston and its environs offers a varied sampling of supernatural phenomena. Many of these tales offer a satisfying dose of ghoulish and frightening details; others are colored with a certain poignancy or even humor.It should come as no surprise that such an historic city has its share of restless spirits. Some of Boston's grandest old buildings and most famous figures have had connections to the supernatural; so have countless ordinary people and otherwise unremarkable dwellings. Holly Nadler has uncovered and retold their stories for our (just a bit uneasy) enjoyment. Ghosts of Boston Town promises to be as perennially popular as our previous collections of true ghost tales.
