Help Bring THESE MYSTERIOUS HILLS to Life!

A new kind of history...

Chock full of ghost stories, legendary people, strange creatures, UFO accounts,  unsolved mysteries, and all manner of bizarre incidents... this book will offer the first comprehensive collection of folklore drawn from three and a half centuries of local history.  In this form, it represents the culmination of more than a decade of writing on all things weird in the Berkshires and its surroundings.
With your help, I can bring this unconventional chronicle of a fascinating region to life, allowing a unique alternate window into an important part of New England history for both residents, visitors, and potential visitors alike.

Benefits the Berkshires

I can't wait to get my hands on this book. I'm pissed I missed the two grand rally, as I would love a tour of the colt mansion. Joe is one of the best writers I have ever read, and I truly can't wait to read this book.
