| A
CHILLING TALE of Shave Ice introduces readers of all ages
to Mrs. Sugihara — the owner of a store and shave ice
stand on the island of Hawaii who in the summer of 1937 launches
a supernatural fiasco which will forever haunt Kamoku Village.
Based upon an actual true occurrence of a ghostly hoax perpetrated
in the 1910s, A Chilling Tale of Shaved Ice is a poignant,
funny and sometimes “chicken skin” excursion into
the supernatural lore of Hawaii. Drawing upon the ghostlore
collection of supernatural storyteller Glen Grant, with the
lively pidgin English dialogue provided by well-known island
comedian James Grant Benton and local author Arnold Hiura,
this unique literary offering captures the power, vitality
and spiritual wonder of Hawaii’s multicultural folklore
traditions.
