On the Day I Died: Stories from the Grave

On the Day I Died: Stories from the Grave by Fleming, Candace. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780375867811.

"Positively tailor-made for reading—or reading aloud—by flashlight," declares Kirkus Reviews in a starred review. The phenomenally versatile, award-winning author Candace Fleming gives teen and older tween readers ten ghost stories sure to send chills up their spines. Set in White Cemetery, an actual graveyard outside Chicago, each story takes place during a different time period from the 1860s to the present, and ends with the narrators death. Some teens die heroically, others ironically, but all due to supernatural causes. Readers will meet walking corpses and witness demonic posession, all against the backdrop of Chicagos rich history—the Great Depression, the Worlds Fair, Al Capone and his fellow gangsters.
