In these thirteen tales, Layne Livingston Anderson takes the reader on a guided tour of historical sites in Arkansas, focusing on legends passed down through the oral tradition. From the Old Confederate Cemetery in Helena to the Crescent Hotel in the Ozark Mountains-and eleven curious sites in between-Anderson relates the history of Arkansas as you've never heard it before. Creeping tombstones, levitating barware, a disobedient elevator, and a riderless tricycle-they're all here, along with other accounts of mysterious occurrences. Funny and scary, these tales are surefire entertainment for sleepovers, lock-ins, summer camps, and Halloween.

Layne Livingston Anderson was born in Memphis and lived in New Orleans and Atlanta before her family settled in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She developed a love of travel and history at an early age. Although she has traveled across the globe, her adopted home state of Arkansas is among her favorite destinations. She holds a B.A. from the University of Arkansas with a double major in History and English Literature and a J.D. from the Bowen School of Law in Little Rock. By day, she works as a government lawyer. By night, she can be found researching ghost legends or leading guided tours as "Ghostess" of haunted historic sites. A cemetery enthusiast, she counts among her favorites Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, Highgate Cemetery in north London, and Little Rock's Mount Holly Cemetery, where she is a "property owner."
