**Dare to wander the fog-choked backroads and crumbling graveyards of New England... if you dare.** In this haunting anthology of ten original tales, the dead of America's most haunted region rise again-cold, patient, and unforgiving. From the rocky coasts of Maine to the silent mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, some graves were never meant to hold what was buried in them. Two of the stories that will keep your lights burning all night: - **The Manchester Vampire** - Based on the true 19th-century case of Mercy Lena Brown in Rhode Island and the broader New England vampire panic. In a frozen corner of southern Vermont, the people of Manchester once exhumed the body of a young woman named Corwin to stop the wasting sickness that was claiming her family. They found her heart still dripping with fresh blood. Now, on the anniversary of that desecration, travelers along the old Glastenbury Road report seeing a pale woman in a tattered burial dress, knocking softly on car windows, whispering that she only wants to go home... - **The Wood Devils of Coos County** - Deep in the unincorporated wilderness north of Berlin, New Hampshire, loggers and hunters have long spoken of the Wood Devils: gray, emaciated giants that scream like rusted sawblades and vanish among the spruce. When hikers go missing near the remote Nash Stream Forest, searchers sometimes find only a circle of broken branches-and a single set of footprints too long and thin to be human-leading deeper into the dark. Ten masterful tales drawn from the real folklore and documented horrors of New England. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, and anyone who knows that some legends began with a freshly turned grave. **Shadows over New England**
Some names were never meant to be spoken aloud again. (Perfect for readers searching: New England vampire panic, Mercy Brown vampire, Manchester Vermont folklore, Wood Devils Coos County New Hampshire, historical horror, true New England ghost stories, folklore horror anthology, atmospheric supernatural fiction)
