Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisp autumn air carried a hint of decay as the private jet touched down in Transylvania. Amber leaves swirled across the tarmac, their rustling a whisper of warning unheeded by the group of wealthy teenagers disembarking, their faces aglow with anticipation. This was to be the trip of a lifetime, a chance to explore the legendary land of Dracula and host the ultimate Halloween bash. Among them was Ethan Blackwood, his cocky grin and designer clothes a stark contrast to the ancient landscape surrounding them. He ran a hand through his perfectly styled hair, eyeing the crumbling castle in the distance with a mixture of excitement and disdain. "Can you believe this dump?" he sneered to his girlfriend, Mia Chen, who rolled her eyes in response. "It's not a dump, Ethan. It's history," she replied, her dark eyes sparkling with genuine enthusiasm. "That's Castle Dracula, the actual residence of Vlad the Impaler." Ethan's best friend, Jake Martinez, chimed in, slinging an arm around both of them. "Who cares about history? We're here to party!" The rest of their group gathered around – Olivia Thompson, the social media influencer already snapping selfies; twins Zoe and Chloe Anderson, giggling and whispering to each other; and finally, Alex Novak, the quiet outsider who had won this trip in a contest, looking overwhelmed by the extravagance surrounding him. As their luggage was loaded into waiting cars, Mia noticed Alex hanging back, his face pale. She approached him, concern etched on her features. "Hey, you okay?" Alex startled, then offered a weak smile. "Yeah, just... I've never been out of the country before. This is all a bit much." Mia's expression softened. "Don't worry, it'll be fun. Stick with me, okay?" As they made their way to the castle, none of them noticed the old woman watching from the shadows, her wrinkled face twisted in a grimace of foreboding. The drive to Castle Dracula was a winding journey through mist-shrouded forests and tiny villages that seemed frozen in time. As they approached their destination, the castle loomed before them, a jagged silhouette against the darkening sky. "Now this is what I'm talking about!" Ethan exclaimed, leaning out the window to get a better look. "We're gonna make this place rock!" The cars pulled up to the massive iron gates, which creaked open as if welcoming them to their doom. As they stepped out, a chill wind whipped through the courtyard, carrying with it the musty scent of age and decay. An elderly caretaker, his face a mass of wrinkles and his eyes clouded with cataracts, shuffled forward to greet them. "Welcome," he wheezed in heavily accented English. "I am Petru. I have prepared the castle as requested, but I must warn you – this is no place for merriment. The walls hold many dark secrets." Ethan scoffed, brushing past the old man. "Save the spooky stories, gramps. We've got a party to set up." As the group entered the castle, Alex hesitated, glancing back at Petru. The old man's milky eyes seemed to bore into him, and he shivered involuntarily before hurrying after the others. The interior of the castle was a maze of stone corridors and cavernous rooms. Despite Petru's preparations, a thick layer of dust coated every surface, and cobwebs clung to corners and chandeliers. The teenagers spread out, exploring their temporary domain with a mixture of awe and nervous excitement. Mia found herself drawn to the castle's extensive library, its shelves lined with ancient tomes. As she ran her fingers along the spines, she felt a spark of static electricity and jerked her hand back. For a moment, she could have sworn she saw a face peering at her from between the books – a pale, gaunt visage with eyes that glowed red in the dimness. She blinked, and it was gone. Meanwhile, Ethan and Jake had discovered the castle's wine cellar, its racks filled with bottles covered in a thick layer of dust and mold. "Jackpot!" Ethan crowed, grabbing a bottle and blowing off the dust. The label, barely legible, read "1462" – the year Vlad the Impaler had been born. "Dude, maybe we shouldn't," Jake said, suddenly uneasy. "That stuff's probably older than America."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Haunted Hayride in Pumpkin Hollow Forest" is a very moving book for kids that takes them to the magical world of Halloween. Emma and Liam are the main characters. They are best friends and live in a small town between hills and a dense forest. There is a strong link between them, and they both love fall and Halloween in particular. The spooky hayride in Pumpkin Hollow Forest is their favorite Halloween tradition. The forest is said to come to life on Halloween night with friendly animals, animals that talk, and scary stories. They want to experience this magic for themselves, so on the night before Halloween, Emma dresses up as a brave pirate and Liam as a brave knight. They then take flashlights and head for the forest. They are met at the opening to the forest by a huge wooden sign that says, "Welcome to Pumpkin Hollow Forest and the Haunted Hayride." As they wait in line with other excited kids and adults, their excitement grows as they know it's almost time for this scary event. They start their trip by getting on an old, creaky hay wagon pulled by Midnight, a nice, big black horse. Jack, the happy wagon driver, greets them with a big smile and gets the wagon going. The moonlight filters through the trees and casts creepy shadows on the path. The air smells like pumpkins and leaves that have fallen. During the hayride, they see many interesting things, including the Wishing Tree, happy goblins giving out gifts, a wise old owl with a puzzle, and many friendly animals, ghosts dancing, and a clever scarecrow with a pumpkin head. At the end of their journey, they come across a clearing where they meet Wizard Whiskers, the town's famous entertainer. He begins telling them an exciting tale about a knight and a pirate's adventure in the forest on Halloween night. They discover that they have become characters in their own interesting story as the story comes to an end. As the hayride goes on, they see more magical things, like a nice witch, singing skeletons, and even a dragon that breathes bubbles. When they finally get back to the head of the forest, Scarecrow Sam says goodbye, and they can't stop talking about their trip. As they leave the woods hand in hand, they say thank you for the wonderful moments they've had. They know that the real magic of Halloween comes from the bonds of friendship and the fun of going on journeys together. Emma and Liam have kept up their Halloween routines over the years, even though they are older now. But they learn that Halloween is more than just costumes and candy. It's about the lasting bonds of friendship, the joy of finding the magical in the everyday, and the beauty found in the most ordinary moments. The trips they take become special memories and stories that they tell their family and friends, which makes their town's Halloween traditions stronger. They know that Halloween is a time to celebrate the joy of laughing together and the strong bonds of friendship. They look forward to Halloween every year and get ready for new adventures in Pumpkin Hollow woodland, where the moon watches over them and guides their way. The woodland always welcomes them with open arms. As long as Emma and Liam are friends, they will always be open to new experiences and be amazed by the magic of the night. This makes every Halloween a special and memorable event. This is how the story starts: It was in a cute little town hidden between rolling hills and a lush, magical forest that a magical bond grew. Emma and Liam were soulmates who couldn't be separated. They were both very curious and loved going on adventures. They were always looking forward to fall, which was their favorite season, and the scary holiday of Halloween was just around the corner. The whole town was filled with an electric buzz of excitement as each day brought new sights and sounds of the holiday that was coming up. The streets were lit up by home decorations in bright colors, and the smell of newly carved pumpkins filled the air. Even though everyone in town was busy getting ready for Halloween, Emma and Liam had a special tradition that made their hearts skip a beat. Every year, the scary journey drew them deeper into Pumpkin Hollow Forest, like a siren's call. You could feel the creepy beauty of Pumpkin Hollow Forest while you were there. The people who lived in the small town had a special affection for this forest, which was on the edge of town. Especially in the fall. There were no clear lines between the normal and the strange in that magical world, and the spirit of Halloween came to life in all its glory. During the day, the forest was a peaceful and beautiful place to relax. The tall trees had a hypnotic tapestry of bright colors that covered the sky in stunning shades of orange, red, and gold. The winding paths made the leaves crunch under your boots as you walked. The air was filled with the earthy scent of fallen leaves and the soft scent of ripe pumpkins. But Pumpkin Hollow Forest didn't really come into its own until the nights before Halloween. When the sun went down, the forest looked like it had been changed by something magical. The moonlight shined through the old trees, making the forest floor glow, and cast scary shadows. There was a feeling that the trees were telling the night secrets. People in the town thought that the forest came to life on Halloween night, when the veil between the worlds was thinnest. Friendly monsters, legendary animals, and magical beings came out of the shadows, making a show that was both magical and entertaining. That place was magical. The line between fantasy and reality was beautifully fuzzy, and every tree seemed to hold a secret. There were many interesting sights and activities in the woods that made it even more magical. The "Wishing Tree" was an old, gnarled oak with branches that were bent and curled like gnarled fingers. People who dared to make a wish and touch the tree's bark were said to have their dream come true. People would often stop and make hidden wishes, hoping that the power of the forest would grant them. People thought that an old, wise owl living in a peaceful pond in the woods knew all the answers to all the world's problems. As it sat high on a branch, the owl would ask people walking by difficult questions. Anyone who tried to answer would find it fun and interesting. It was also famous for the crazy people that you could meet in the woods. From the bushes, giggling goblins with bright orange faces and polka-dotted leggings would come out and hand out sweets to happy guests. At the same time, talking animals would tell jokes and laugh together. Friendly ghosts would play in the woods, and a scarecrow with a pumpkin head could be seen singing creepy but catchy songs to visitors. A big part of the Pumpkin Hollow Forest experience was the campfire meeting, where storytellers like Wizard Whiskers told amazing stories that seemed to come to life in front of eager viewers. There were often brave heroes, smart pirates, and exciting adventures in these stories that made kids and adults feel like they could do anything. On the haunted hayride, people were led through this magical forest and came across some magical gifts along the way. As the trip went around and around, each turn and surprise brought a new story, magic, or surprise that kept people captivated. Everyday things gave way to the strange in Pumpkin Hollow Forest, and Halloween was enjoyed in all its magical beauty. This place had been loved and respected for a long time. It was a place of magic and mystery, and Emma and Liam's favorite Halloween tradition was the spooky hayride that took them on an amazing trip through this beautiful world. Pumpkin Hollow Forest was a place that made people feel awe and brought out the darker parts of their minds. With each step deeper into the magical forest, the spirit of the forest seemed to take on a life of its own. The trees, in particular, watched over the magical realm. Their trees reached high into the sky, and their leaves were burning like flames in the middle of a wildfire. The forest floor below was covered in a kaleidoscope of fallen leaves that made a soft, rustling symphony with every step. It was the perfect sound to go with the stories that were being told. These trees, beautiful in the fall, held the information of many generations. They moved slowly in the cool breeze, as if they were telling each other secrets that had been passed down through the years and were sewn into the bark and branches of the trees. It was tempting to think that they were talking as they moved in the wind, and maybe they were. In Pumpkin Hollow Forest, after all, it's not impossible that trees could talk. The people in the town had lived with the forest peacefully for many generations and had a strong faith in its beauty. It was an idea that was passed down from generation to generation through stories told at firesides about the magic they had seen in the forest on Halloween nights. Without a doubt, the woods were a spot where fiction and reality mixed easily, and the mysterious was always just a whisper away from the real. While the moon was bright over Pumpkin Hollow Woodland the night before Halloween, it didn't show what kind of forest it really was. On this night, the woods came to life in ways that didn't make sense. Along the roots and trees, friendly monsters came out from their hiding places, as colorful as the fall leaves. With their funny acts and friendly smiles, these creatures let anyone who dared to join their kingdom in. They were more likely to give a warm hug than a scary fear, and their laughter filled the forest like a happy chorus. Animals that could talk were also present. Animals that usually walked through the woods in silence could be heard on this beautiful night. While smart owls traded puzzles and insights, naughty mice fought. Every encounter was a reminder that in Pumpkin Hollow Forest, the extraordinary was greater than every day. As the moon rose higher into the night sky, stories came to life in the shifting shadows of the trees. It felt like the air was full of stories about bravery, adventure, and the unknown. People were enthralled by these stories, which were told by skilled storytellers like the mysterious Wizard Whiskers. In their stories, they made up brave heroes, smart pirates, and magical trips deep into the forest. People of all ages were inspired by these stories, which led to a shared sense of excitement and wonder. The forest's ability to make people feel both scared and excited was probably its most appealing trait. Stories about Halloween that have been told for generations talk about meeting mythical beings that can give you chills and make your heart race with excitement. There were spooky apparitions, spectral figures, and scary sounds in the forest, which added to the excitement of the journey. Although Pumpkin Hollow Forest had some scary things that happened, it was different because it had funny and silly things that happened too. Ghosts would come with sly grins and dance happily instead of hauntingly. With their pumpkin heads and straw-filled bodies, even the scarecrows seemed more interested in making people laugh than in scaring them. Stories about Pumpkin Hollow Forest were a big part of Emma and Liam's childhood. These were stories that people told each other around campfires, during sleepovers, and through the generations in the town. Every year, as the cool fall air turned the town gold and red, they got more excited about Halloween and the chance to go deeper into the magical forest that had been in their dreams for so long. Stories about friendly animals, talking animals, and scary adventures that couldn't be put out by words alone had sparked Emma and Liam's imaginations. To become a part of the mythical stories that had caught their imaginations, they wanted to become lost in the magic of Pumpkin Hollow Forest. So, when Halloween Eve came around, it brought a lot of excitement that boiled over like a pot full of magical potions. Emma, who was brave and had a spark in her eyes, had chosen to turn into a brave pirate for the night. She dressed like a daring heroine by putting on a tricorn hat, a tunic that flowed, and a patch over one eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Georgia’s Civil War ghost books proves that the Peach State’s phantoms come in many forms. Every portion of central Georgia is thoroughly haunted. Tobe, the ghost of Orna Villa in Oxford, had an appetite for biscuits. Angry spirits near Augusta drove a family from a beautiful old home. Paranormal entities in a home cobbled together from three old houses created a tapestry of supernatural events. People still seek advice from a fortuneteller dead half a century, and a long-deceased girl hitches a ride home on the same night each year. Author Jim Miles presents a ghost story from each of the fifty-one counties in this historic region. “Every county in Georgia has at least one ghost story, and author Jim Miles has gathered them into three books. . . . Miles traveled to all 159 counties, as well as two counties that ‘went extinct’ during the Great Depression. The completion of the books was a 10-year project for Miles . . . The stories span all of Georgia history, from one with its origins 2,000 years ago to the latest in ‘scientific ghost hunting.’” —Gainesville Times
