Thea Lewis in Rutland | True Crime Stories of Vermont
About
Phoenix Books is delighted to welcome Vermont author Thea Lewis to Phoenix Books Rutland on Sunday, October 4 at 2:00 PM for the launch of her latest book, True Crime Stories of Vermont.
Author and historian Thea Lewis is a Vermont native and the creator of Queen City Ghostwalk, the walking tour chosen "Best Scary Stroll" by Yankee Magazine. Known as Vermont's "Queen of Halloween," she's been scaring up history since 2002 with her haunted tours, special events, and books for adults and children. Thea's other titles with The History Press include Haunted Burlington: Spirits of Vermont's Queen City, Ghosts and Legends of Lake Champlain, and Haunted Inns and Ghostly Getwaways of Vermont.
About the book: Flung down a well. Buried alive in the backwoods. Gunned down in broad daylight. Not what you'd expect from a place flocked to by influencers for its cozy aesthetic and iconic fall foliage.
Whether the crimes were intricately plotted or born of passion, Vermont's history is filed with lawlessness, depravity, and murder. Some culprits struck just once, some went on a spree, while others using opportunism and cunning menaced entire regions for years.
From the place Vermont calls "The Kingdom" to its "Marble City," Thea Lewis, author of True Crime Stories of Burlington, Vermont, offers up more than a century of mayhem, with double lives, serial killers, and a plot to slay a beloved pop star with a global fan base.
Join her as she peels back the region's reputation for wholesomeness and rural charm to show you the darker side of the Green Mountain State.
