Living Ghosts and Mischievous Monsters. Chilling American Indian Stories Scholastic Inc.

Dark figures in the night. Cries on the wind. Monsters watching from the edge of the wood.

While some of these creatures are simply mischievous, many of them are the stuff of nightmares. From timeless tales to sightings that could have happened yesterday, prepare for terrifying accounts of restless spirits, walking dolls, and the wendigo, shape-shifters, and hungry skeletons.

Ghost stories remain among the most treasured tales passed from generation to generation in American Indian cultures. Through time, communities have told and continue to tell stories to share origins of the world and tribal history, to carry messages and to teach, and of course to entertain. Dan SaSuWeh Jones, Ponca Nation, has compiled some of his favorites with contributions from storytellers across the US and Canada, accompanied by haunting illustrations by Weshoyot Alvitre, Tongva Nation.

So pick up a story... if you dare.
