Book Description
In turns both hilarious and tragic, two worlds collide in The Meddling Ghosts. A cast of inept ghosts, some of them centuries old, and a modern, dysfunctional family, hooked on technology and social media, co-habit Cuckoo House, a former inn. Meet the Berridges: Elaine and Hugh – teetering on the brink of a marriage break-up – and their teenage children, Leah and Jake. Elaine is chronically depressed, and spends most of her time asleep or on Facebook. Hugh has become dependent on alcohol. Leah seeks solace in a perilous online world, Jake on his Xbox. The ghosts – a disparate bunch led by Colonel Pine, who still looks at everything as a military operation – have a mammoth task on their hands to stop the Berridge family from self-destructing. But will their meddling be enough?

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A mad scientist's concoction of teen detectives, H. P. Lovecraft, and a love of Americana, this is a story filled with rich horror, thrilling twists, outright hilarity, and surprising poignancy. "While this is obviously an ode to Scooby Doo... fans will love the idea of a group of mystery hunters coming back together after leaving the business.” —Bustle “Filled with high jinks both terrorizing and hilarious.” —USA Today In 1977, four teenagers and a dog—Andy (the tomboy), Nate (the nerd), Kerri (the bookworm), Peter (the jock), and Tim (the Weimaraner)—solved the mystery of Sleepy Lake. The trail of an amphibian monster terrorizing the quiet town of Blyton Hills leads the gang to spend a night in Deboën Mansion and apprehend a familiar culprit: a bitter old man in a mask. Now, in 1990, the twenty-something former teen detectives are lost souls. Plagued by night terrors and Peter's tragic death, the three survivors have been running from their demons. When the man they apprehended all those years ago makes parole, Andy tracks him down to confirm what she’s always known—they got the wrong guy. Now she'll need to get the gang back together and return to Blyton Hills to find out what really happened in 1977, and this time, she's sure they're not looking for another man in a mask.

Book Description
With entries that range from specific works to authors, folklore, and popular culture (including music, film, television, urban legend, and gaming), this book provides a single-volume resource on all things ghostly in the United States and in other countries. The concept of ghosts has been an ongoing and universal element in human culture as far back as recorded history can document. In more modern popular culture and entertainment, ghosts are a popular mainstay—from A Christmas Carol and Casper the Friendly Ghost to The Amityville Horror, Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Sixth Sense, and Ghost Whisperer. This book comprehensively examines ghost and spirit phenomena in all its incarnations to provide readers with a holistic perspective on the subject. It presents insightful information about the contribution of a specific work or author to establish or further the evolution of ghost lore, rather than concentrating solely on the film, literature, music, or folklore itself. The book focuses on ghosts in western culture but also provides information about spirit phenomena and lore in international settings, as many of the trends in popular culture dealing with ghosts and spirits are informed by authors and filmmakers from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom. The writers and editors are experts and scholars in the field and enthusiastic fans of ghost lore, ghost films, ghost hunting, and urban legends, resulting in entries that are informative and engaging—and make this the most complete and current resource on ghost and spirit lore available.

Book Description
What is it like to discover that you have died? What is it like to realize that no one can hear you? Why is crossing over into the Heaven World so incredibly important? How do you know you have died if, the second before your death, you were just polishing the dining room table, serving tea, or simply sleeping? These are the true-life stories of ghosts talking to psychic, Tina Erwin, just before she crosses them over into the Heaven World. Tina opens up the world of ghosts to all of us so that we can have compassion for them rather than fear them. This book also offers every reader the tools to clear their house of ghosts if a homeowner feels that their home is haunted, or has unsavory energy because something violent took place there. Tina Erwin, a retired US Navy Commander, is a ghost helper and not a ghost hunter. Ghosts seek her out. There is no need for her to go to a graveyard or any other location with special equipment to 'hunt' them. What makes this book unique is that Tina explains the physics of metaphysics by marrying science and spirituality. She wants us to understand how people become ghosts in the first place, what that state of being is really like, and, most importantly, how anyone can help a soul who is stuck between dimensions. Ghost Stories from the Ghosts' Point of View Vol. 2 is a collection of 21 stories that are told by the ghosts themselves. Some of these ghosts died in battle and they keep reliving those same horrific moments over and over, forever trapped in a loop in time until Tina helps to release them from their tortured 'life-everlasting' state. Some perished during the Civil War, others during the Revolutionary War. Some of these ghosts are lost children; others simply have not realized that they have died. The care and compassion that she has for each special soul will warm your heart when you see the gratitude and love they display as Tina ends their personal hell.
