This review is from: Strange Events: Incredible Canadian Ghosts, Monsters, Curses and Other Tales (Amazing Stories) (Paperback)

I have read quite a few books on Canadian mysteries and monsters and this book had many stories I had not read before, and the ones I did know about had details I did not know previously. Very well researched and written. Good Work, looking forward to "Strange Events of the East Coast" due out in January 2006!
