Set in 1790, a chilling tempest rages through the North Carolina wilderness as seasoned investigator Levi Adams wrestles with a mysterious case in the dead of night. What should’ve been a routine strangulation bears eerie signs—signs Levi has seen before. But nothing can prepare him for the knock that shatters the stillness: a messenger from Raven Cove, a cursed town Levi vowed never to return to.

Murder. Missing people. Small-town secrets. Swamp legends. Southern charm and Louisiana Folklore. Welcome to the world of Uncle Joe—where nothing is ever quite what it seems, and the deeper you dig, the darker it gets. In this gripping collection, you'll find the first five books in the Tales from Uncle Joe series, where Louisiana native Joe Conrad—“Uncle Joe” to most—stumbles into a string of chilling mysteries stretching from the Carolinas back to the haunted backwoods of his bayou home.

After receiving a call from his sister Bertha about some strange activity around her property, Joe investigates and soon comes to believe it may be the product of a Rougarou. As more weird phenomena take place, Joe and Alvin seek the help and wisdom of a friend who helps shed light on the folklore of the Rougarou. From cattle mutilations, eerie night howls, strange footprints, to dead bodies showing up with large teeth and claw marks, the theory of a Rougarou's involvement becomes more and more evident.

Upon discovering the gruesome murder of one of his employees, Joe receives a mysterious call from a man believed to be the notorious serial killer known as The Pale Skinned Man. Joe and the gang work with Sheriff Landry and Detective Fontenot to track down the deranged man before he can strike again. Despite their efforts, more bodies turn up in the swamplands with the signature clues of The Pale Skinned Man. With rumors of the man secretly running a bloodthirsty group of twisted individuals with an interest in vampirism, Joe and the gang rush to find answers.

After receiving a frantic call from his friend Alvin about a dead body with a bag of money out in the swamps, Joe heads up the bayou in his Jon boat to try and figure things out. The further he digs, the stranger things become. With more bodies showing with gruesome markings and injuries, rumors begin to spread of everything from a rogue Swamp Booger, the Rougarou, a Satanic Cult, or possibly the workings of a decades-old serial killer known as The Pale Skinned Man.

As Uncle Joe attempts to make his way back home to Louisiana after stumbling into Trouble in the Carolinas, he soon learns there is even more trouble waiting for him on the home front. With his crazy witch of a neighbor seeming to have placed a curse on him and his family, Joe enters uncharted waters to protect himself and everyone he holds dear.

My name’s Joe Conrad. Peter Joseph Conrad to be precise, but most folks just call me Joe. ‘Cept for my nieces and nephews of course. They tend to call me Uncle Joe. I’ve seen quite a few things in my sixty-six years of living, but I tell ya what, I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for what was awaitin’ me in the Carolinas.
