Book Description
Hauntings are believed to be created from violence and bloodshed. And from the beginning, the Prairie State was a place where death thrived, and mysteries became commonplace. Illinois was the home of ancient peoples know as Moundbuilders whose only legacy is silent graves and many unsolved mysteries. The French left behind their own ghostly stories after their displacement by the Americans in the 1700s and countless slaughters such as the Dearborn Massacre gave birth to tales of horror that live on in the history of Illinois. Eerie occurrences, spooky events, unsolved mysteries, and terrifying specters haunt Illinois. Tales of headless horsemen, haunted castles and a penitentiary occupied by ghosts chill the spines of visitors. Haunted Illinois explores the Prairie State’s paranormal side and serves as a guide to its haunted places.

Book Description
Always go for more. Russ doesn't want more. He has the perfect life planned. Even though he's called a dummy most days, he knows he'll go to college, marry Isabelle, and farm with his father and brothers. Yup, perfect. All that changes in June 1928, the night his brother is kicked out of the house and Isabelle is snatched by a bunch of men dressed like ghosts. Russ swore to protect Sacred Land but promises made to his pa when life was great are not so easy to keep after he finds himself plagued by a curse. Who are the men terrorising the Cursed Lands and trying to burn his gal for being a witch? His father thinks they're acting out to scare them off the land, a hate group perhaps? His brother wonders if they're wanting a sacred plant that grows in the tunnels. His ma knows of other secrets haunting them¿ While those things might be true, his ghostly grandpa, Silver, shows Russ something he can't ignore; a curse summoned years ago that will suck them all into the earth. With lingering spirits, a troubled girl shadowing his destiny, dark rituals, a love potion, cursed men plaguing their lands, a prison break that takes him away from home when his wife needs him the most, and the earth itself trying to suck them in, Cursed on the Prairies is a Sacred Land Story that shows that the prairies are a place full of secrets that even a ghost can't bury. An emotional journey into an alternate history with paranormal and romantic elements that proves we can't escape our destinies, Cursed on the Prairies is the third of Tanya's Sacred Land Stories, the culmination of a trans-generational timeline that started in Legends on the Prairies and continued in Ghosts on the Prairies.
