Haunted Island: True Ghost Stories from Martha's Vineyard

by Holly Nadler

It's no surprise that remote Martha's Vineyard is home to a significant population of ghosts. There are the strange entities that just may have played a part in the notorious accident at the Chappaquiddick Bridge. There is the ghost of aristocratic Desire Coffin, called back from the Other Side by the power of music and the memory of lost love. And at one haunted inn, Room 8, accessible only by way of a cramped hidden staircase, is the focus of strange events—including the total disappearance of one guest.

A quick, fun read, especially enjoyable if you're familiar with Martha's Vineyard.

Loved learning these stories while staying on MV. I would have much preferred less personal anecdotes and use of “I” from the author.

This book made me want to visit Martha's Vineyard in the off season and browse over the spots I read about in the book.

Wonderful style of writing. I heartily recommend this woman's books, any and all of them.
