Whenever my husband and I travel to new places, we always try to a) find a local ghost walk to take because it’s a great way to find out about a city’s history and b) pick up at least one locally written book of local ghost stories. Such is Steve Vernon’s "The Lunenburg Werewolf and Other Stories of the Supernatural," covering Nova Scotia, Canada, and a lovely volume it is. There are tales well-known (“The Ghosts of Oak Island,” detailing the search for a long and much-rumoured buried pirate treasure) and those not well-known but specific to location (most of the rest of the stories in the book). Vernon is a good story-teller, you can tell his oral retellings are excellent by the cadences of the written forms, and all of these are fun. I like that he includes versions of tales from the Mi’kmaq as well as those of European settlers. I especially liked the last story in the book, “Liam and the Lutin,” which brings together all the other characters in all the other stories in a quite wonderful way. Fans of this type of work, amongst whom I include myself, will enjoy this; visitors to - and residents of - Nova Scotia will get a kick out of it too; recommended!

The wind is howling and a full moon is in the sky-it must be time for more chilling tales from storyteller Steve Vernon. Spanning the length and width of Nova Scotia, these 25 blood-chilling yarns make perfect campfire fare. Some stories are so terrifying that they have been told far and wide, such as the Ghosts of Oak Island or The Haunting of Esther Cox. Others, including the Murder Island Massacre and the Caledonia Mills Spook, might be lesser known, but are no less scary. Written in Steve Vernon's unique style, these stories of the haunted, the supernatural, and the unexplainable are part history, part folklore, and a lot of old-fashioned, frightening fun.
