I must admit that I am weak for books like this one. I love taking them camping and reading the stories around the campfire. This book is particularly well researched and written. It isn't a bunch of "stories" but rather historical accounts about places in California that have a history about them. I have not even finished the book and felt I must give it the five-star ghost story recommend!

I was very disappointed with this book. As a citizen of California, a history major and a fan of ghost stories, I feel like this book did not provide enough information. The author gives the bare minimum of information. For example, she writes about a haunted record store in Sacramento. I live in Sacramento and I cannot figure out from her vague description what record store she's talking about. It would have been nice to have addresses of these haunted locations so we could go check them out for our selves if we wanted to. One positive thing I do have to say from reading this book, I now realize it doesn't take much to research, write and publish a book, and I have decided to write one myself. :)

I am not even half through this book yet but this is a very, very good book. I always see this book at Barnes and Noble but I never bought it but thanks to my mom she got it for me and I love it. The stories seem so fake but then they seem so real. dont know if that made any sence but it is very good. Cant wait to get the others.
