Whispers in the An A–Z of Maine’s Darkest Crimes pulls back the curtain on the cold, quiet horrors that shaped the Pine Tree State. From the crumbling wards of Augusta’s asylum to a midnight hanging in a York bell tower, these real stories stretch across backroads, mill towns, and coastal villages—where whispers travel farther than justice.
Each chapter explores a true crime from the 1800s to early 1900s, grounded in local detail and the hard soil of Maine’s history. These aren’t legends. These are the cases that were buried in snow, sealed in silence, and passed down in uneasy glances.
Step into fog-drenched woods, listen for creaking floorboards, and walk the edges of towns that don’t like to talk.
