Jason Offutt’s non-fiction catalog includes nine books published between 2006 and 2017. The majority focus on paranormal subjects: Ghosthunting Missouri, Haunted Missouri, Darkness Walks, What Lurks Beyond, and Paranormal Missouri all investigate reports of ghosts, shadow people, and other unexplained activity. The books draw heavily on Offutt’s Missouri roots and his research into local legends and eyewitness accounts.
His non-fiction also includes biographical and historical work. Ella Ewing is about a Missouri woman who was reportedly one of the tallest women in history, and J. C. Penney covers the retail magnate who grew up in the state. Across A Cornswept Land explores Missouri’s landscape and culture. These books show Offutt’s deep connection to his home state and his ability to find compelling stories in local history.
