Overall I enjoyed this book. It highlighted some really interesting spooky spots in my home state. However, I found it a bit lacking in detail & wish that the author had expanded on some of the stories a bit more.

This book is a fascinating tour of the spooky hot spots in the state. By dividing the state into sections, the author can give a.brief history of each section and then.provide the.stories within this context.
