Book excerpt: Edgar Award-winning travel writer spends an autumn living in one of America's spookiest tourist destinations: Salem, Massachusetts Salem, Massachusetts, may be the strangest city on the planet. A single event in its 400 years of history—the Salem Witch Trials of 1692—transformed it into the Capital of Creepy in America. But Salem is a seasonal town—and its season happens to be Halloween. Every October, this small city of 40,000 swells to close to half a million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the fall of 2015, occult enthusiast and Edgar Award–winning writer J.W. Ocker moved his family of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics, creating a picture of this unique place and the people who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness.

Download or read book October Nights written by Kevin Lake and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publishing of 'October Nights, ' a great void has been filled. Sure, we all loved creepy Halloween stories like 'The Tale Of The Golden Arm' and the short story collections such as 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, ' when we were kids, but once we reached the age of majority, collections such as these, written on an adult level, simply did not exist. Until now!Acclaimed author Kevin E Lake has filled this void that's existed for far too long. With 'October Nights, ' Lake gives us, as adults, thirty one original spine tingling tales that will give us that feeling one only gets in October, when the leaves have changed, and jack o'lanterns begin popping up on porches and in yards all across America, and when the summer's heat has exited the room and the crisp, fall air has taken its place. That magical feeling that makes us believe that there may be something out there in the dark that we cannot see. Perhaps our old houses in which people have passed on to the other side, whether we are aware of it or not, really are haunted. All those things we hear going bump in the night might not simply be the roof cooling off from the day's heat, and popping, or the old wooden frames adjusting and settling with age. 'October Nights' provides us with one well written, terrifying tale for each night of the month of October. The only challenge the book presents is in the fact that its readers may not be able to help themselves to just one tale each night, rather, they may find themselves being far too tempted to blow through the entire work in one setting, because 'October Nights' is just that damn good! Just as Charles Dickens will always be remembered as the man who invented Christmas, due to his classic tale 'A Christmas Carol, ' Kevin E Lake, with the publishing of 'October Nights, ' will forever be remembered as the man who invented Hallo
