Josephine Anderson, youngest of the immense Anderson clan, has an itch to travel and to put some distance between herself…
and Piney Woods, Louisiana, and she is determined to scratch it with a stint as a traveling actor for a murder mystery dinner show. With Beatrice Becklaw in the pilot's seat, the troupe of four amateur actors hit the circuit - and hit the end of the tour when a real dead body stops the show. Jo's fondness for Miss Bea is the impetus to find out just who ruined the tour, and the person she least suspects is the one she needs to watch. Set in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, Becklaw's Murder Mystery Tour is proof that sometimes the confines of the family compound is the best place to be, nutty family and all.Haunted Greece And Rome: Ghost Stories from Classical Antiquity

proper burial, or to comfort the living fascinated people in ancient times just as they do today. In this innovative, interdisciplinary study, the author combines a modern folkloric perspective with literary analysis of ghost stories from classical antiquity to shed new light on the stories' folk roots. The author begins by examining ancient Greek and Roman beliefs about death and the departed and the various kinds of ghost stories which arose from these beliefs. She then focuses on the longer stories of Plautus, Pliny, and Lucian, which concern haunted houses. Her analysis illuminates the oral and literary transmission and adaptation of folkloric motifs and the development of the ghost story as a literary form. In her concluding chapter, the author also traces the influence of ancient ghost stories on modern ghost story writers, a topic that will interest all readers and scholars of tales of hauntings.
