4 comments about Green Mountains, Dark Tales (Hardscrabble Books).

1. In the tradition of old-time Yankee yarn-spinners, Citro delivers something that's all too rare nowadays--a darn good story. Dozens of them, in fact. I got so wrapped up in the tale called "The House of the Feasting Dead" that I nearly went past my subway stop. This is a hair-raising tour "dark" side of Vermont, a place populated by ghosts, mystics, spiritualists and even a "stone-throwing devil."



2. Joseph Citro's collections of Vermont folklore have become as much a part of the Green Mountain State as sugaring and the Lake Champlain Monster. GREEN MOUNTAINS, DARK TALES continues this series of terrificly readable and enjoyable stories based on Vermont folklore and legend. Anyone who likes the state or just likes a good story would do well to pick up this book. It makes for addictive reading.



3. Yet again, I have been enthralled, scared and drawn in by Mr. Citro's tales about my home state. He even covered my home-town ghost in this installment, which thrilled me to no end. He is truly one of our master storytellers, and I highly recommend all of his work.



4. I loved this book! I live on the NY/VT border, so I spend a lot of time in southern Vermont, and it was so great to be reading about places that I have been to. It's really interesting to have a mental image of a place because you've been there, and then you learn that this place has a much darker past than you ever could have imagined, and the picture changes, but your interest increases. It's really cool. Citro's books are some of my favorites. He's a great author - I love his writing style.

1. This map has excellent detail, a lot of information and is very durable. The map can be folded many different ways and holds up well. This is the map that I used the most.



2. I'm not happy because I needed a map showing all three states on a single sheet. I already have individual state maps that are better.

1. This is a wonderful book full of beautiful pictures, but the binding is so cheap the pages started coming loose almost as soon as I received it. I ended up having to buy another one to replace the first one because it's in over a dozen pieces now. You won't be sorry with the quality of the photographs though!
