A TERRIBLE DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Explore the dark side of life in the ‘burbs with 50+ true scary stories of UFOs, mysterious murders, ghostly encounters, and more!

They told you the suburbs were a great place to live. They said nothing bad could ever happen here. But they were wrong . . . These terrifying true stories will forever change the way you look at white picket fences. Consider:
 
The Soccer Mom’s Secret: Meet Melinda Raisch of Columbus, Ohio. She’s the wife of a dentist. A mother of three. A PTA member. And she has enough murderous secrets to fill a minivan.

Noise Pollution: More than 100 residents of Kokomo, Indiana, claim their small town is under attack by a low-pitched humming sound that erodes health and sanity. Too bad they’re the only ones who can hear it.

Death Takes a Holiday Inn: There’s nothing more reassuring than a big chain hotel in a quaint small town—unless it’s the Holiday Inn of Grand Island, New York, where you’ll spend the night with the spirit of a mischievous little girl.  
 
So, lock your doors and dim the lights! From corpses buried in backyards to ghosts lurking in fast food restaurants, you’ll stay up all night with this creepy collection of true tales.
Sam Stall lives with his wife, Jami, in the quintessentially Middle American town of Indianapolis, Indiana. Their home sits on quiet, tree-lined Primrose Avenue, part of a beautiful suburban area where nothing bad ever happens (except for a low-pitched humming sound that disrupts the sanity of its residents; see "Noise Pollution" in Chapter VII).
