A TERRIBLE DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Explore the dark side of life in the ‘burbs with 50+ true scary stories of UFOs, mysterious murders, ghostly encounters, and more!
They told you the suburbs were a great place to live. They said nothing bad could ever happen here. But they were wrong . . . These terrifying true stories will forever change the way you look at white picket fences. Consider:
 
• The Soccer Mom’s Secret: Meet Melinda Raisch of Columbus, Ohio. She’s the wife of a dentist. A mother of three. A PTA member. And she has enough murderous secrets to fill a minivan.

• Noise Pollution: More than 100 residents of Kokomo, Indiana, claim their small town is under attack by a low-pitched humming sound that erodes health and sanity. Too bad they’re the only ones who can hear it.
• Death Takes a Holiday Inn: There’s nothing more reassuring than a big chain hotel in a quaint small town—unless it’s the Holiday Inn of Grand Island, New York, where you’ll spend the night with the spirit of a mischievous little girl.  
 
So, lock your doors and dim the lights! From corpses buried in backyards to ghosts lurking in fast food restaurants, you’ll stay up all night with this creepy collection of true tales.

      Adult/High School-Ghosts at the roadside, UFOs in the attic, beasts in the backyard, soccer moms who murder, cul-de-sacs of carnagewhat are the suburbs coming to? Stall's quirky book tells tales that range from eerie events and well-known ghost stories to murder and attempted murder to the more whimsical disappearing lake and the low constant hum that plagues many residents of Kokomo, IN. Some of the stories of phantom apparitions and unexplained phenomena fit the definition of urban legend. They are a mix of humor and horror. The retellings of murder cases, famous and not so well known, are grim and dark in theme, though the author ends his stories with twists and warnings and title puns lighten the tone. This collection of more than 60 tales, some with photographs, will give readers laughs, shivers, and grounds to reflect that things are not always what they seem to be in quaint, peaceful suburbia."Susanne Bardelson, Kitsap Regional Library, WA"
