Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Ghostwriter Nancy Roberts spins fascinating tales about 24 haunted houses all over America. Based on interviews with regular people who have experienced actual ghostly goings-on, these stories will make you sleep with the lights on. Around the campfire or in the safety of your own home, read about the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts, where the gruesome murders of Andrew and Abbey Borden were committed by their daughter Lizzie...or were they? Or the Red Brook Inn in Old Mystic, Connecticut, where a jealous widow's spirit gets her 'sweet' revenge on her husband's seventy-fifth birthday! Or the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California, where a spooked wealthy widow had secret rooms and passageways built in the mansion to keep the bad spirits away.

2.0 out of 5 stars not so believable, September 16, 2002

Katie (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Haunted Houses: Chilling Tales from 24 American Homes, Third Edition (Paperback)

This was a very silly book. I picked it up hoping for something a little more realistic. Instead of first-person accounts or facts, it was full of stories she had created using some of these things. The dialogue was contrived and often the stories didn't focus on real hauntings, but her made-up ones. Pretty much a big disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't even finish, it was so silly, November 10, 2003

Leslie "booker813" (Lubbock, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Haunted Houses: Chilling Tales from 24 American Homes, Third Edition (Paperback)

At least the author's impressed with herself--she quotes herself in her preface. Badly written, barely edited, this book smells of "vanity press". Sorry I wasted my money on it.

By A Customer

This review is from: Haunted Houses: Chilling Tales from 24 American Homes, Third Edition (Paperback)

This book is ok but it wasn't what I expected. It seems like it should be a childs book. In other words I've read better.
