Description: History and Hauntings of the Halloween Capital takes a look into why the small village of Anoka, Minnesota, has been declared (by Congress and everything!) to be The Halloween Capital of the World. This fun look at the elements that make up this unique town, from the rivers along its borders and limestone underfoot to the historical locations and rich characters that helped put Anoka on the world map—to those characters who have seemed to stick around long after their time--History and Hauntings of the Halloween Capital mixes together the popular ghost stories of Anoka as well as answers to the question inhabitants are so frequently asked: “Why is Anoka the Halloween Capital?”
Review: “Roxy Orcutt’s debut is a delightfully wicked combination of history, wit, and wonder. Even readers far from the midwest will be bewitched by her analytical and anecdotal depiction of one of America’s most unusual towns.”
~Brian Landon, author of A Prairie Homicidal Companion
