Uncover thrilling paranormal tales of Gold Rush ghosts, haunted
hotels, shipwrecks, giant squid attacks, disappeared Russian
explorers, a vanished bear hunter, Sasquatch, Kushtaka, and so much
more. A collection of twenty stories showcasing the supernatural
legends and unsolved mysteries of Southeast Alaska, with a focus on
the region between Yakutat and Petersburg, where the author has
lived his entire life, writing, teaching, guiding, commercial
fishing, and investigating ghost stories. Each chapter is rooted in
Bjorn’s own adventures and will intertwine fascinating history,
interviews, and his reflections. Bjorn’s writing, sometimes
poignant and often wickedly funny, brings to mind Hunter S.
Thompson and Patrick McManus. Chapters touch on legends such as
Alexander Baranov, Soapy Smith, James Wickersham, and the Kóoshdaa
Káa (Kushtaka) to lesser known but fascinating characters like
“Naked” Joe Knowles and purported serial killer Ed Krause. From
duplicitous if not downright diabolical humans to demons of the
fjords and deep seas and cryptids of the forest, Bjorn Dihle
presents a lively cross-section of the haunter and the haunted
found in Alaska’s Inside Passage.

From the sharp, comic voice of Haunted Inside Passage, Never Cry
Halibut is a collection of humorous and thoughtful short essays
about hunting and fishing in Alaska. Accompanied by photographs,
each story reflects the author's three-decade relationship with the
wildest places left in North America as he interacts with brown
bears, wolves, wilderness, commercial fishing, and the nearly
forgotten act of harvesting food from the wild. From hilarious
tales of his nieces outfishing him to reflective ruminations on the
human connection to nature, Bjorn captures the liveliness that
comes from living so close to the Southeast Alaska wilds.
