southwest is great

This book is fantastic loved every story and would love to visit some of these areas.

Spooky Southwest

My students have loved this book. It is a quick read of short stories that fill in for any down time we may have in the classroom.

Great book!

I really loved Spooky Southwest! The stories were short, and some of them were really scary -- like the Death Waltz and Old Granny Tucker. There were also some good laughs -- for example, the story "The Ultimate Stakes" has two Comstock miners making it into Heaven, and they go a little crazy when they realize the streets are made out of gold! I have read all three books by S.E. Schlosser, and they keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see what's next from this author.

Great Tales

Spooky Southwest was a great read. I love to read about Ghosts and strange things that happen. I want to visit the places I read about and see if these stories are true. I had to read this book during daylight hours only because I'm easily spooked, but that is half the fun anyway. I can't wait until S.E. Schlosser comes out with a new "Spooky" book.

Enthralling read about the southwest.

The Southwest . . . land of cowboys, Indians, legends and folklore. Pecos Bill visits the most haunted house in the west, a slave prays for his freedom, gold miners head for Heaven's streets of gold, skeletons, ghosts, treasure and more. This book continues the tradition of exciting tales made famous in the Southwest. Both the well known and less well known tales are equally exciting. Anyone who finds the Southwest interesting will put this book on their definite read list.
