5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Book!, July 28, 2007

By	MN Mama (Northern Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I just picked up a copy of this book at a local bookstore and it is phenomenal. The short stories are all based on true happenings, most of which I believe have never been in print before. I am very impressed with the way the authors presented the stories. Some of these tales are the most bizarre I have ever read, and yet they are full of emotion and depth. The north shore of Lake Superior is a fascinating area already, famous for its many mysteries, and the authors did a brilliant job of digging up the strangest, most obscure tales of all. Mayo and Barthel obviously did a lot of original research to present a book that brings the reader into worlds undiscovered. Among the captivating stories of UFO's, Bigfoot, shipwrecks, ghosts, and survival are tales with topics complex and unexplainable in ways that cannot be imagined. The characters they bring to life in these stories are both fascinating and sometimes almost frighteningly real. I was awestruck by The Starving Moon, which is a particularly haunting tale of a woman who survives an absolutely harrowing experience on the famed Isle Royale. The writing is smooth and poetic and due to the short length each story is easy to get through in a brief sitting. My husband and daughter are enjoying it as well, we even found ourselves reading the stories out loud to each other after dinner one night. If you are on the lookout for a book that explores the mysterious from a unique, profound perspective you can't miss this. With its original research and multifaceted focus, this book is one of a kind. I only wish the book were longer...but perhaps they'll put out another installment.
