Book excerpt: Hidden beneath the sandy beaches and deep within the twisted coastal forests of the Outer Banks are the old ghost tales that permeate the Outer Banks coast of North Carolina. These stories can go back decades or centuries. Far from the usual legends that are often told and retold, this collection of thirteen tales of harrowing haunts delivers traditional folk tales and mysterious events including some that have rarely, if ever, been written in print before. You won't find the usual stories in here, no pirates on the wind, but there are still plenty of ghosts to go around. Spectral figures are seen on the ocean waves, or wandering late at night in a house on Roanoke Island. Strange lights appeared on long lost sand dunes and old, creepy beach houses. Ghostly figures still walk the land around Hatteras, including a musical spirit from beyond the grave. Witches, too, make their appearance, casting spells for good or ill on the land and its inhabitants. There is even a spectral hand that appeared from a solid wall of an Outer Banks landmark and a tragic shipwreck that appears only to the unlucky few who hear the sounds just offshore, late at night. Go check your front door to be sure it is locked. Will that keep the ghosts out as you read? Turn on the porch light, maybe that will help. Or perhaps the glow of a campfire will keep the spirits at bay, just outside in the darkness, as you enjoy Haunting The Carolina Coast. These thirteen stories will be sure to entertain you. But don't be surprised if you open the book and it gives you a little shiver, too. Prepare to be scared.

Book excerpt: Available for the first time as an Omnibus Ebook, this collection brings together two of Nell Wise Wechter's beloved stories of young people on the North Carolina Coast.

Included in this Omnibus Ebook: A longtime favorite of several generations of Tar Heels, Taffy of Torpedo Junction is the thrilling adventure story of thirteen-year-old Taffy Willis, who, with the help of her pony and dog, exposes a ring of Nazi spies operating from a secluded house on Hatteras Island, North Carolina, during World War II. For readers of all ages, the book brings to life the dramatic wartime events on the Outer Banks, where German U-boats turned an area around Cape Hatteras into 'Torpedo Junction' by sinking more than sixty American vessels in just a six-month period in 1942. Taffy has been enjoyed by young and old alike since it was first published in 1957. The legend of Teach's Light has been handed down by the people of Stumpy Point village in coastal North Carolina for nearly three centuries. None can say when the mysterious light that hovers above Little Dismal Swamp will next appear, but it is said to guard a store of treasure buried long ago by Edward Teach (c. 1680–1718), better known as the infamous pirate Blackbeard. One summer evening, teenagers Corky Calhoun and Toby Davis row into the swamp, drawn by the mystery of Teach's Light. But their adventure soon takes a curious turn. Thrown back in time by a sudden explosion, Corky and Toby find themselves floating safely above seventeenth-century England, as Blackbeard's life unfolds below. They watch as the orphaned Edward Teach decides to stow away across the Atlantic, begins his career as the fearsome Blackbeard, stages terrible raids from the Caribbean to North Carolina aboard his ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, and, finally, is beheaded in a battle with the British Crown's ships. An inventive blend of history and science fiction, Teach's Light brings Blackbeard's story vividly to life.
