Cheri Revai Farnsworth is the author of the best-selling Haunted Northern New York series, The Big Book of New York Ghost Stories, Haunted Connecticut, Alphabet Killer, and eight other titles of true crime and the paranormal. She is a native of upstate New York’s “north country” but has many fond memories of family vacations in the adjacent New England states. Her nostalgic recollections, along with a lifelong interest in regional history and the paranormal, prompted her to accept the challenge of writing about the strange phenomena of a state she believes may be the most haunted of all—Massachusetts. Farnsworth is retired and lives in Massena, New York, with her family.
