It's been a long while since I've read a non fiction title, and now I've gotten to satisfy that itch with Beth Scott and Michael Norman's "Haunted Heartland".
"Haunted Heartland" is a large collection of ghost stories and folk lore from the Midwest, or Midwest states as it's often referred to, in the US. These stories from these states, from Illinois to Wisconsin, are pretty interesting. Probably enough to give you chills, if not outright scare you.
And all of them are pretty straightforward, and there are no fills or thrills in them. A thing I would like to mention, though, that the copy I have is an old and tattered 1986 edition from Warner, basically a first edition.
But even if it's an older edition I still got enjoyment reading it, and maybe one day I might get an updated version or, even better, a newer book on the same subject. I've enjoyed something similar to this, in fiction, before and it was one of my childhood favorites, Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark". The same books that pretty much drew me into horror along with the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine.
A pretty interesting book, with some pretty interesting stories in it. And hope to find more books on the same subject sooner or later!
