Horror in the heartland Strange and Gothic tales from the Midwest

Keven McQueen

Book - 2017

McQueen explores the historical horror-comedy and real-life surrealism of the American Midwest. There are tales of a booming grave-robbing industry in late 19th-century Indiana; a Michigan physician who left his estate to his pet monkeys; unexplained deaths, premature burials, peculiar wills, and other twisted yet intriguing insights into human nature and our history.
