Ghosts, Heroes and Oddities is a collection of the stories that have inspired, entertained and haunted countless generations of Newfoundlanders. The anthology captures the spirit of The Rock and its people with stories about feeling the icy cold hand of death, an Inuit woman’s courageous life and the day a sea monster attacked a 150-ton schooner.
