4-6Scary Places series.
Hospitals, morgues, and desert islands are just a few of the purportedly haunted locales (all real places) profiled in this series. Each double-page spread includes a summary of the site's reported paranormal phenomena along with photographs; the scrapbook-style layout is busy but readable. Although the texts aren't always precise (or accurate) in their definitions, the volumes are generally satisfactory. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Scary Places titles: Cursed Grounds, Monstrous Morgues of the Past, and Shuttered Horror Hospitals.
