Nevada Nightmare's Eve

Nevada is, undoubtedly, one of the most haunted states in the union. Its history is rich in tales of haunted mines, hotels, and havens for spirits of all sorts. Places like Tonopah's Mizpah Hotel and the Washoe Club in Virginia City, a town that, in the world of the authors' imagination, is linked to the ill-fated Donner Party. Read on to find out how.

There is, however, much more to terrify you in the Silver State than its famous-and infamous-spooks. Killers prowl its back roads, and places like Carroll Summit and Montgomery Pass have their own disturbing tales to tell. Something insidious may lurk in the Black Rock Desert, home to Burning Man. The Clown Motel is creepy enough as it is, but what if it were the home to something truly sinister?

Encounter Sasquatch in the Sierra. Play a hand of five-card draw with bigger stakes than any high-roller table you've ever seen. Make a deal with the President of Hell in Sin City. Attempt to defy a coming-of-age premonition.

And ask yourself: What unseen hand can make mining cabins appear and disappear? What presence has bided its time in Lehman Caves, just waiting to emerge? And what happened to all the elk that once roamed the Nevada hills? These questions and more will be answered by award-winning writer Sharon Marie Provost and co-author Stephen H. Provost in a collection of chilling tales in the tradition of their Nightmare's Eve series.

Sweet screams.
