This 8.5×11 book is the product of over five years of work and contains all 49 locations covered by the Legends and Lore of Illinois monthly serial, plus a bonus location: Southern Illinois University. It is 218 pages of adventure in your own backyard.
Published in 49 monthly issues over the span of four years, the Legends and Lore of Illinois presented Illinois ghostlore in an exciting, informative, and occasionally controversial format. While providing important historical background on your favorite haunted places, the Legends and Lore of Illinois also featured the fictional adventures of a group of paranormal investigators known as the Fallen. With an eye on the fun, mysterious, and macabre, “Leave science to the scientists” was their motto. Will they unlock the secrets of the unknown, or will they unwittingly unleash shadows from the darkest recesses of our imagination?
