Every state has an urban legend that evokes fear and curiosity in equal parts, and we've chronicled all of these logic-defying horrors here in the Haunted States of America anthology.

From the Jersey Devil to La Llorona, each story introduces a new chill-inducing, stomach-churning monster, spectre, or poltergeist certain to keep you up at night. A broad-ranging collection of authors, including seasoned veterans and some first-timers making a fright-tastic debut, have all united to unearth the scariest lore from each state in the US, as well as DC and Puerto Rico. Make sure to strap in for this spooky cross-country tour, but be extra careful not to let any of these terrors follow you home.
