Book Description

The Canadian Oxford Dictionary defines hoax as a “humorous or malicious deception,” and hex as “a magic spell.” In Hoaxes and Hexes, Barbara Smith explores these intriguing reflections of human nature, showing our curious desire to believe in the impossible and explain the inexplicable. Here are tales of swindlers, charlatans and imposters, among them the flamboyant 19th-century financier known as Lord Gordon-Gordon; David Walsh, author of the horrendous Bre-X gold-mine hoax of the 1990s; and the eccentric Josef Papp, who claimed to have crossed the Atlantic in a homemade submarine. The persistent power of hexes is recorded in stories of cursed places— including a strange haunting in the Cypress Hills and a deadly Lake Superior lighthouse—and weird coincidences, such as the legendary Hollywood hex on Oscar-winning actresses. Whether you believe in the power of hoaxes or hexes or not, these bizarre stories show them to be a fascinating part of our history.

Book Description

After getting pushed out of the scientific community, renowned physicist Dr. Adam Powers is relegated to working as a consultant…for a ghost hunter show. Talk about hitting rock bottom. At least this gives him the chance to expose supernatural sightings as nothing but a hoax. That is, unless the Bliss Cove librarian locking horns with him succeeds in proving otherwise. The sweet, scrappy woman almost has him believing in the unexplainable—and not just in terms of ghosts. Bee Delaney escaped a bad childhood and fought to find her calling in the ramshackle mansion housing her beloved, semi-crumbling library. To save both, Bee sets out to prove a 19th century ghost lives within the very walls the town wants to demolish. Hello, instant tourist attraction! But while every ghostlike event caught on camera gets Bee closer to her goal, it deepens the rift that keeps Adam, and the only other thing she’s wanted more than a safe home, just out of reach. * * * * * Emotional small town love stories with all the swoon, and all the feels.
