Don't let the cheesy cover scare you away. This little book of spirited folklore is one of the better volumes I've read in this genre. The accounts are short, but engagingly told with a good-sized helping of local history and a dash of humor -- and none of the editorial failings of many such books. It's not so much a spooky read as it is a sojourn through Coastal New Jersey history and its alleged paranormal remainders. I really enjoyed this one. ( )
