[Hilary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ed is a Delaware author. This volume is my favorite collection of ghost stories that he has gathered to date. Possibly this is because he included a story that I shared with him in it! And -- disclaimer here -- when I told him about Patty Cannon's jawbone -- I also told Ed that I had made the tale up out of whole cloth. He included it anyway, and said it was too good a story not to include.
