THE WORLD OF LORE: MONSTROUS CREATURES World of Lore, Book 1

With a delight in the macabre, author/narrator Aaron Mahnke reprises some of his favorite tales of vampires, lost ghosts, Jersey Devils, and wee people from his award-winning podcast, "Lore." His tone is nicely conversational throughout this eclectic and well-researched potpourri of folklore, grisly tall tales, and spine-tingling firsthand accounts of nineteenth-century séances and possessions. The collection jumps from one subject to the next with ease and is like eating popcorn--listening to one spooky tale just leads to another. After awhile, the listener will be looking behind doors and turning on a few extra lights, which, most likely, is what the author intends.
