Haunted highways of America

For decades US 666 wore the devil's own number, and the stories along it never needed a map: the phantom truck that paces you for miles, the hellhound that keeps pace at the shoulder, the time that vanishes between one town and the next. The highway is numbered 191 and 491 today, but the lore is still out there at the mile markers.

From Alaska's Dalton Highway, 414 miles of ice fog and lights that do not belong to the truck ahead of you, to the dirt roads locals swear have been cursed since the 1890s, this book runs all fifty states. Every chapter ends with the legend and the truth side by side, so you know exactly what you are driving into.

Inside you'll find:

US 666, the Devil's Highway: the phantom truck, the hellhound, and the missing time

The Dalton Highway in Alaska, where headlights pick up things that are not trucks

Colorado's Gold Camp Road and the ghost bus that never was, the wreck everyone remembers and no record shows

Jack Cole Road, the dirt road that has carried a curse since the 1890s

The fiction and the fact of every state, laid out side by side so you can decide what you believe

The Lincoln Highway and the older roads that were here before the interstates

Each chapter gives you the legend and the truth of the road, then leaves the headlights off and lets you decide.

Perfect for road-trippers, ghost hunters, and anyone who has ever driven past a mile marker and felt the hair stand up.

Part of the Folklore and Legends series, where the land remembers it all.
