"Jan L. Bastien leaves no haunted hearthstone unturned in her tour of Mount Holly, New Jersey, wether she is investigating the ghost of the Friends of the Quaker Meeting House or the troubled souls executed

for murdering their sweethearts."

Interviews with the town's current residents root this book in the

familiar routine of daily life, making the strange events they have witnessed all the more hair-raising. Bringing a whole new meaning to the term "historical interaction" Bastien visits firehouses, taverns and cemeteries to exhume those bits of the past whose clammy fingers still cling to the present. The vividness of her spellbinding accounts will have you smelling the sulfur of dead-but-not-departed Hessian mercenaries in less time than it takes to shiver.
