You’ll find out in this collection of haunting tales from the author and publisher of Horror on the Installment Plan.
Natalie Wood’s death has just been re-opened by the Los Angeles Police Department. What does Natalie’s ghost have to say? You’ll find out by reading “Natasha and the Captain,” a story that uses information gathered at the scene by eye-witnesses.

Lewis Hack Wilson was a victim of the new “dead ball” in 1931. Did this cause him to haunt the club house on Catalina where the Cubbies held Spring Training for many years? Find out in “The Dead Ball.”
In “The Somnambulist,” the real-life murder of 41-year-old Marie Weinfurtner is given a strange twist. What if her 25-year-old boyfriend were really innocent? This story shows what could happen if someone were able to kill in one’s sleep.
Finally, the story “Kafka and the Chewing Gum Man” is a surrealist exploration into bad karma and how ghosts can redeem themselves in the aburdity of our world.
