From his haunted farmhouse in rural Maine, Paul Guernsey edits and publishes The Ghost Story: Ghost Stories in Literature, Folklore, and Contemporary Culture (www.TheGhostStory.com), and administers a pair of international short story contests called The Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award (biannual) and The Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition. In addition to his novels—which include “Unhallowed Ground,” runner-up for a PEN/Nelson Algren Fiction Award—he has written extensively on the outdoors, especially on the sport of fly-fishing. He has also held just about every kind of writing job imaginable, including newspaper reporter, magazine editor, travel journalist, and foreign correspondent. He currently teaches writing at Unity College: “America’s Environmental College.” “American Ghost” will be his third novel.
