description: For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Ghost Seven Ghostly Stories from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon.         In the old towns of the Wild West, there’s more to hear than the paint peeling from the deserted storefronts, more than the tumbleweeds somersaulting down the empty streets. If you listen hard, you can hear voices whispering stories. Stories like the one about the lost mine in Maiden, Montana, or how Wyatt Earp won the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. And don’t forget about the Bad Man from Bodie, California—he’s still searching for his lost finger! Can you hear them? “An entertaining collection.” – School Library Journal “Combining history and mystery…[ Ghost Seven Ghostly Stories ] recalls classic campfire tales.” – Booklist “A well conceived (and titled) collection…[of] chilling short stories.” – Kirkus Reviews
