This collection of tales is for fans of ghost-story writer Mary Downing Hahn’s scary but not too scary books. Even the stories without actual ghosts are spooky. Each tale turns something ordinary―a pigeon, a white dress, a stranger on the bus, a puppet―into a sinister link to the supernatural. For the human characters, secrets from the past or careless behavior in the present can lead to serious trouble. All the stories have a young person as their central character, so all will resonate easily with young listeners who enjoy the eerie, the creepy, and the otherworldly. In a concluding note, the author talks about how she came to write ghost stories.

"I have always loved fairy tales," says the author, Edith Hartnett, "and have never felt they should be seen simply as entertainment for children. The fairy tale that is true to its genre unlocks another, far broader, kingdom of the mind. We came onto this planet aware of certain innate truths: good is stronger than evil, life is a quest to achieve a higher goal, and ultimately we are united with our Beloved and made whole. Later on, these truths become clouded by the stress of our busy lives. The fairy tale recalls them to us."
