The Adirondack Park is filled with a lore unlike anywhere else in the world. Maybe it’s the beauty that surrounds the Park thanks to the thousands of mountains, lakes, and rivers within. Maybe it’s the history of woodsmen struggling to survive in a place that’s been aptly nicknamed, “dismal wilderness.” Hard to say, really. But everyone who visits this rugged, beautiful mountain country will agree; there is a mystery about the Adirondacks.

In this collection of spooky and supernatural stories set in the Adirondacks – and perfect to tell around a roaring campfire – author James Appleton taps into the lore of the Park from its well-trodden towns and trails to hidden places off the beaten path.

Tapping into the folklore of this majestic region, Adirondack Campfire Stories will give readers haunting experiences under the stars for years to come.
