Mysterious Mondays: The Haunted South Book Series by Lisa Clute

From Amazon

If you are ready to get into the Halloween spirit but are not a fan of truly terrifying and/or gory reads, then The Haunted South series by Lisa Clute is for you!  These tales are considered cozy horror, and once you start reading you will understand why.  Each book in the series is an interconnected set of short stories set in Madison, Georgia, and features supernatural creatures and their interactions with the residents of Madison, who are not at all surprised to be sharing their town with fantastical beings.  In fact, for the most part both supernatural and human entities seem rather fond or at least amiably tolerant of each other, although at times both must work to come to a mutually agreeable understanding to coexist.  The first book, Monsters Under the Magnolias: Haints, Howls, and Hospitality in a Small Southern Town, is so entertaining and well written that I was quickly drawn into the hauntingly quirky world of Madison and had to read the next two books in the series as soon as I could get my hands on them.  I am hopeful that a fourth installment is in the works and will soon be available!
