    For five months, he journeyed nine thousand miles through all the rough terrain of the Montana landscape in search of adventure, his family roots, and the history still breathing in the carcass of myth. With humor and insight, Conrad encounters car-fighting cowboys, wolf biologists, modern-day mountainmen with flintlock rifles, xenophobic fly fishermen, philosophical Indians, New Age religious groups, and even grizzly bears drunk on fermented corn. Between accounts of his adventures, he pays literary homage to Montana's originals, like Charlie Russell, Will James, A. B. Guthrie, and Thomas McGuane. While traveling through such historic sites as Fort Benton and Glacier Park, Conrad revives such colorful ghosts as Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy, General Custer, and the Sundance Kid. GHOST HUNTING IN MONTANA provides an engaging insight into the past and present of this mystifying known as Big Sky Country. In this evocation of the old and new West, Conrad discovers not just the insider's Montana, but also the American in himself.

    Westall's tales are spooky and eerie, rather than downright scary. He creates likable characters and effectively sets them in slightly supernatural situations. "The Haunting of Chas McGill," for example, is a gem of a tale, perfectly plotted. During the London blitz in 1939, a boy discovers that a deserting British soldier (or perhaps his ghost) is hiding out in the old school into which he has moved. He comes up with a way to save the soldier, but in a delicious twist, his scheme has a surprising effect on his own family. Most of the stories are equally satisfying. Five of them feature adult characters exclusively. They are excellent, but seem slightly out of place, especially since Westall created such memorable children. In stories like "Fifty-Fafty" and "The Red House Clock," the thoughts and feelings of the boys who narrate are fascinating. When supernatural elements subtly appear towards the end of these stories, they have a significant impact because readers are already so involved with the lives of the characters. Three of the eleven stories also appear in The Call and other Stories (Viking, 1993); one has not been previously published; some are from out-of-print collections. A treat for horror fans as well as for those who appreciate well-told short stories.
