About the Author

Charlie Glasgow was born and raised next to the Missisippi River in a town known as Quincy, Illinois. The spooky old mansions in his neighborhood and throughout the town spurned on the tales inside a young boys mind and ghost stories were often told in the back seat of the car during family drives. This is the fifth book of supernatural tales and ghost stories based in the middle of Iowa. Gravity is not really deserted, but the population has shrunk considerably. The phantom train runs through Sidney, Iowa, but the mine does exist outside of Gravity as well as the many dead who were buried at the bottom of the mine. Professor William Bates is a fictional character from the Viking Lake book and will pop up from time to time in different stories. Keep your eye out for other new books being released later in the year.
