Here in the far corner of my property is the family cemetery. My ancestors have been buried here since the early 1600s. In another 300 or 400 years, I'll join them. Until then, I'll continue writing stories, casting spells and chasing Salem. Behind Great-Aunt Hagatha's grave are 25 stories to read after you've paid your respects to the dead.
