Meet Becca, Oswald, & Olive. They're here to help and learn about ghosts, monsters, the feared, and the weird. With help from S.J. Winston, the Spook Troops are here to identify the strange creatures around town in this new original book series by Brian Soria.
Spooky, yet sweet, these scaredy-scout stories have a whole family friendly vibe, but contain a few tongue-twisters and a couple higher-reading level words.

S.J. Winston is a professional preponderer of paranormal presences with a proven proficiency in propagating preternatural power. Yes, harnessing energy from ecto-waste (or spooky dookie, as we calls it), his proprietary scream engine technologies are powered by this safe and sustainable ghoul fuel. This allows him continue his research into the “paranordinary”, documented in his first book, “S.J. Winston’s Spookity Compendium of Creeps & Creatures”.
He is also the founder and guardian of the Spook Troops, an after-school Spirit Guide program aimed at hands-on learning. Members gain otherworldly experience as they help identify, understand, and in the rarest of circumstances, relocate creepity beings. Only card-carrying Spook Troops can safely* encounter monsters, and earn “Scaredy Badges” through demonstrating monster empathy and knowledge.
As part of the Spook Troop spirit guide program, we also often employ and rehouse wayward weirds and shiftless souls not quite yet ready to move on back across the veil. We’re Underworld Union Friendly! We always treat remains humanely!
His research facility, Winston Manor also acts as a Historical Marker (the first built residence in Creepmoor) just outside of Easton. Registered as the Lower Creepmoor Valley Paranormal Preservation & Ecto-Conservation Authority, you can reach SJ Winston through the Ghost Office and his psychic channels are always open.
*Card-carrying Spook Troops are guaranteed safe passage from monsters, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and magial beings as agreed upon by the Trick-or-Treaty, and enforced by the Haunstitution. Don’t leave home without it!
