"It was a fun project to work on and we enjoyed sharing our experiences and combining our paranormal night job with our anything but normal day job," Hawes said.

The book is also filled to the rim with practical tips, advice and "not to do's" for DIYers. The book retails for $12.95 which includes free shipping and can be purchased online at www.ChillyTales.com or on www.Amazon.com. As a special bonus, everyone that can identify the city the Ghost Hunters were in on the most recent episode will receive a free gift with purchase.

Roto-Rooter public relations manager Paul Abrams explained that the book has been so successful and incredibly popular as a gift for Halloween and Christmas, that Roto-Rooter decided to reissue the book to coincide with the new season of Ghost Hunters and in time for both holiday seasons.

"It's been wildly popular among plumbers all across North America because they can so closely relate to the stories," Abrams said.

Critic Review:

"The 'How to Poop at Work' survival guide is especially helpful, but more than just a book on how 'everybody poops,' there are weird ditties about reptiles, flushed drugs, a chocolate bunny and rescued kittens. While not technically a Ghost Hunters or TAPS book, Chilling Tales is an enjoyable and quirky little bathroom book worth reading outside of the bathroom." - Aaron Sagers, Paranormal Pop Culture
