Gourmet Ghosts - Los Angeles

by James Bartlett

A mix of mystery and history, Gourmet Ghosts is a unique guide to more than 40 haunted bars and restaurants in Los Angeles. Including new and previously-unpublished stories, photographs and eyewitness accounts, this book also digs into the newspaper archives to find out if there's any truth to the tales - and offers tips on the best food, drink and Happy Hours. From Downtown to Hollywood and from West Hollywood to the Westside, you can find out which booth to choose if you want to dine with a ghost, read about "The Night Watchman" at the Spring Arts Tower, walk in the steps of "Glover's Ghost" at Yamashiro or examine the strange pictures from the Queen Mary and the Mandrake Bar. Your table is ready!

It's a really interesting book with a little history of many places you can eat in the greater Los Angeles area that are reputed to be haunted. I can't wait to pick up the second book!

Met the author - he is awesome and genuinely interested in the topic so I really look forward to reading about the ghostly stories of places I know, or can find, in the Los Angeles area.

This title definitely has the right "spirit" - in terms of historical Los Angeles landmarks and spooky happenings - but readers may find this guide to be a little outdated. Many of the locations, activities and cited websites have changed or no longer exist.
