About this ebook
Varla Ventura, Coast to Coast favorite, Weird News blogger on Huffington Post, and author of The Book of the Bizarre and Beyond Bizarre, introduces Weiser Books’ new Collection of forgotten occult classics. Paranormal Parlor is an eerie assemblage of affordable digital editions, curated with Varla’s sixth sense for tales of the weird and unusual.
Early author and historian Charles M. Skinner collected folk tales from around the world, but he had a particular passion for stories of early America. Written in 1896 this collection of short tales includes the witches, goblins, ghosts, and hauntings upon which our great nation was built.
About the author
Charles M. Skinner was an American writer who was born in Victor, New York. His career in literature and journalism included editorship of the Brooklyn Eagle. His study of the paper’s famed Walt Whitman appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1903. Skinner published collections of myths, legends, and folklore found inside the United States and across the world. Skinner hoped that America’s progress would transform the nation’s legends into few but great ones – “as time goes on the figures seen against the morning twilight of our history will rise to more commanding stature.” He hoped to combine folklore conventions with New England transcendentalism to keep alive traditions endangered by the industrial age.
