S'more Spooky Stories

A collection of family-friendly spooky tales set in US national parks, with all proceeds going to the National Park Foundation.

Many of the U.S. national parks are huge swaths of wild and barely explored land. While it's true millions visit the parks each year, most people stay within a mile or so of the popular attractions. Not many people go into the hinterlands where maybe, just maybe, there are all kinds of monsters.

It's that wildness, that invitation to contemplate the mysteries of life, that makes the national parks so important to the health of our nation's psyche...as well as something to give you chills and keep you up late at night.

Join us for a collection of scary stories set in national parks, where 21 amazing authors have chosen a national park, monument, or historic site as a setting for a spooky story. Stories you can read by the campfire, that will haunt your dreams as you lie in your tent, listening to the sounds of nature in the darkness.

A collection of tales that is sure to both entertain and raise awareness of our precious national lands, so we and future generations can continue to enjoy them, including stories from Dan Wells, Jo Schaffer Layton, Fleur Bradley, Ally Malinenko, Josh Roberts, Steven Bohls, Kim Ventrella, Darcy Marks, Deke Moulton, Erin Petti, Jennifer Jenkins, Laura Parnum, Nicole Brouwer, Sarah Allen, Leigh Statham, Candice Marley Conner, Russ Colson, Adam Seable, Maxwell Francks, and Camille Leigh, with an introduction by Peter Black.
