"Otherworldly Maine unites modern stories with classics to present a picture you will find nowhere else.... I recommend this book wholeheartedly." -- Gene Wolfe

"... a fascinating glimpse at one of the oldest, coldest, strangest places in the United States that ever was, ever might have been, and even ever wasn't." -- Harry Turtledove

"Who knew Maine has so many weird, mysterious, and wonderful stories?" -- Jane Yolen

"... highly recommended to personal, academic, community library metaphysical studies collections and supplemental reading lists on Maine's state history." -- California Bookwatch (1 August 2008)

     "a collection of darkly imaginative stories that evoke the state's eerie bogs, deep woods, and the spirit of its most famous writer, Stephen King." -- Boston.com/Boston Globe (14 September 2008)
