The nine stories within the first volume constitute some of the richest original material of horror, mystery and supernatural happenings that can joggle a twink mind. Yes, they are scary.  Each story seems to begin with perfect innocence, fully believable and real.  Then, as the story progresses, there are twists and turns into the bizarre realm of human behavior.

 After reading, kids will share the stories over the phone, on the school bus, in car pools and at spend-the-night parties. Several of the stories continue to be played-out on campouts as an initiation of freight for new members.

The four stories in the second volume contain softer material that the first volume.  The theme resonates of things that are only seen by a person having an experience, usually alone.  Their lives are changed, in the end, when captured by the spirits.

 AK-RAH tells the effect of an artifact that circulates at yard sales. THE VIGILANT is a haunting story of the forest spirit. ANOTHER MAN’S CLOAK captures a man into the identity of another’s spirit. OUR LITTLE SECRET introduces homeowners to resident ghosts.

Of the four stories in the third volume, THE OLD CROW, is by far the most complicated and lengthy plot in the entire series of volumes. Mystery and Voodoo are woven into the story at every turn. UNITY is a fascinating story of a church, divided. What about those in the cemetery?  MALEVOLENT MARK is waiting in the shadows as the Halloween trickster. Beware! GA. HIGHWAY 29 gives us an uncanny introduction of the content of late-night road mist. Don’t be fooled by what you think you see. Believe it.

The six short stories of the forth volume are refreshing. We laugh at the character in WOOLY BUGGER then regard a toilet with fear in SNAKES, SNAKES, SNAKES. A little munchkin will capture your heart in TROGLODYTE and make it his supper. The kid in MAGAZINE is so cool until a cadaver’s spirit needs him to carryout missions. What do we know of Blackbeard?  All is revealed of the pirate.

The last book in the BEYOND HOCUS-POCUS series contains ten enjoyable short stories written for the more tender of spirit.  There is no blood and gore to poison the mind.  Like all the books, you may not want to read them prior to turning off the light or when you are alone. There will be no one to hear you scream. AUGUSTUS is the swan song - a way to say goodbye. In THE DARE, two boys do not heed the request of a sickly grandmother.  The MOSSMAN is a favorite to all circling the embers. Don’t let him get you. A BAD DREAM foretells the future, one without a past. ORION’S BELT addresses an alien abduction.  Where did he go?  IN THE DARK asks what do you fear most? The answer is always the same: the boogieman.
