Susan Fair

    Susan Fair excelle à explorer les intersections entre l'étrange et l'historique. Son écriture puise dans son expérience des bibliothèques publiques et dans des aventures qui l'ont amenée à travailler dans des musées singuliers et à rencontrer des chasseurs de fantômes et des traqueurs de monstres. Elle est attirée par l'exploration de l'inexplicable et du particulier, tissant des récits qui équilibrent souvent faits et folklore. Fair excelle à déterrer des histoires fascinantes dans les recoins moins explorés de l'histoire et des traditions locales.

    Mysteries and Lore of Western Maryland: Snallygasters, Dogmen and Other Mountain Tales
    • In the shadows of the quiet mountain towns of Western Maryland, strange creatures are said to lurk in the woods while phantoms wander the foothills. The Hagerstown clock tower is reportedly haunted by the ghost of a young artist killed during the Civil War, while the low summit of South Mountain was once host to a mysterious spell-caster, the Wizard Zittle. Farther west, tales of legendary hunter Meshach Browning echo among the Allegany Mountains while visitors to Deep Creek Lake may feel the chilling presence of monks who never left their former monastery. From the 1909 hoax of the monstrous Snallygaster that terrorized the Middletown Valley to the doglike Dwayyo that was spotted near Frederick in 1965, local historian Susan Fair rounds up the bizarre beasts, odd characters and unsolved mysteries that color the legends and lore of Western Maryland.
