"How to Hunt the Jersey Devil!" Presented by Tony DiGerolamo, Author of The Pineys,
Join us for a discussion of the Jersey Devil and South Jersey Folklore like no other! Witches, monsters, ghosts and other supernatural characters abound in the Pine Barrens, so the Jersey Devil is not so alone! Learn about the fascinating history and tall tales of your community and practical steps to avoid being eaten by Mother Leeds’ 13th Child.
The Pineys is a 15 book Series…From the creator of the Jersey Devil comic book comes a story about four cousins cursed by their ancestors, brought together by destiny and trying to keep South Jersey from going to Hell.
In 1732, Mother Leeds gave birth to the infamous Jersey Devil, which has roamed the Pine Barrens ever since.
Or so the story goes…
The truth is, Mother Leeds was a witch and opened the portals to Hell unleashing hundreds of devils into woods. But the villagers next door in Abe’s Hat noticed and formed a secret hunting society to track down the fiends and send them back to the Abyss. Their descendants continue the Hunt in secret to this day.
So grab your pork roll, put on your Piney Power hat and join the hunt, because the Galloway cousins are coming to save you whether you like it or not.
