Description
This latest collection by Maritime Mysteries' former TV host and actor Bill Jessome includes forty of the best stories collected from around the Maritimes. Using his journalist's skills, Jessome weaves incredible stories that charm readers and chill our nerves. Maritime Canada has an extensive storytelling tradition and a large part of that storytelling lexicon consists of stories of the supernatural. Many of these stories are told over the generations and Jessome has acquired these chilling accounts by listening to Maritimers at the kitchen table, around the flickering campfire, and when the moon is full.
