YA-- Graduates of Daniel Cohen's tales of the unexplained should relish these 35 short mysteries. In an almost breathless fashion, stories of such familiar curiosities as killer bees and UFOs mix company with Virginia's own witch trial of Grace Sherwood of Lynhaven Bay; the true story of the Alamo; Christopher Columbus's role in cannibal tales of the Carib Indians; and less familiar accounts of headless horsemen, lost treasure, and a voodoo queen of New Orleans. A candidate for filling the final two minutes before the bell rings, with selections short enough to tempt reluctant readers, and a possible point of departure for exploring the facts behind these fast-paced "take or leave it" tales.
