Instead I found that certain facts stood out, presenting themselves in a disturbing pattern. The more I investigated, the more these true facts in the history of the Red House suggested the narrative revealed in the booklet. I began to wonder whether I was researching a work of fiction, or really uncovering the most shocking secret in the history of Münstereifel. I leave it to the reader to judge!"

Rural hauntings and stories of the macabre take center stage. Topics and stories covered include the Mothman monster, the Ethel coalmine spector, Silver Run, the Chapmanville high school haunting, the Ghost of Holden #22 Mountain and many, many others. West Virginia noted horror writer Michael Knost, of Logan County, WV, aptly serves as the anthology's editor; and writers for this special project are an amalgamation of nationally respected authors in the horror, science fiction and fantasy fields. There are also several up-and-comers included who are from in and around the state. All 13 of these disquieting accounts take place in rural West Virginia and are surprisingly of a family-friendly nature.
