S'ok July 26, 2006
While Azrael pointed out that a lot of vanity presses crank out books for anyone, just because a "small press" prints a book doesn't mean it is a vanity press. There are many good books which are not picked up by larger, mainstream presses because they just can't publish every good author.
Having said this, I have to agree with some of the others. Urban legend and proofreader come to mind with this book. If you haven't read anything else about Indiana and you can overlook so many errors, especially some factual ones, then you would like this book.

If you are interested in urban legend type stories then this is a good reference book for you. Most stories I read in this book I have heard before. Be prepared for the bad grammer though, and misspelled words. It does not give a good description of the locations of these places which would have been helpfull. Worth a read though if you are interested in ghost stories.

"I published a book!" "Yeah? How much did you have to pay to publish it?" I hate books put out by small vanity presses. If a collection like this were fit to print, it would have been picked up and printed by an actual publishing house - one that pays its authors [not the other way around]. Mrs. Johnson's gripping [not] "accounts" of the "supernatural" are mostly lame stories told to her by her friends, family members, and neighbors. One "fascinating" tale begins with the Johnson's deciding to investigate the cemetery that lies "out back of our trailer." Uh, yeah. Enough said. Not only are the "stories" mind-numbingly *wrong*, the grammar is non existent. My only advice is to avoid this book and make sure to check out a book's publisher before buying it.

Being from Indiana myself. I found this book a must have for any paranormal fan. I have done some research on this new author and found that she will be coming out with more books, which I will be adding to my collection.
