The Salem witch trials took place in Massachusetts in the 1600's. S. E. Schlosser features a retelling of these events in story thirteen called "Madness". The person relating the tale is a witch who was alive at the time and present for the trials. The events are presented in a chronological manner and almost appear to have been taken from a personal diary. The story is quite realistic. I enjoyed reading "The White Wizard", which is about a wizard who helped sailors in the Marblehead area when they were at sea. "Time Warp" tells about the events at Lexington and Concord at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The speaker is taken back in time to relive part of the battle on the Green. "Dark Portrait", deals with the events surrounding the Boston Tea Party.The first part of the book features ghost stories, among my favorites are "Hide and Seek", "The Treasure and the Cats" and "The Fireside Chair". Two others that I enjoyed are "The Jewelry Box", where a young couple find a safe place to stay for the night and "Thar She Blows", a tale about a whale hunting ship out searching for whales. All the stories capture your interest and can be read several times

without losing their freshness.

Spooky Massachusetts is one of the best books in the Spooky series! All of the stories are unique, but all of the stories grab your attention and keeps you enthralled! Some of my favorite stories in this book are Death Omen, Black Magic and many others! Please read it because you won't regret it!

I picked this book up in Martha's Vineyard and couldn't put it down. I gave it as a gift to a friend in Indiana and now he wants to visit Massachusetts!

Arrived on time & in very good condition. Love New England & spooky stories! Enjoyed the stories here.
