You Won't Go Hiking Alone After This Read,
By T. Christian (Southern, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Out Past the Campfire Light (Paperback)
Within these pages of "Out Past the Campfire Light", you will discover unique stories of missing people, lost mines and treasures, mysterious creatures of the outdoors, haunted roads, forests, lakes and eerie spots!One of few books ever written on the strange and haunted places of the American Outdoors and even fewer books, which addresses an amazing look at the enigmas that exist in places that have terrified us since the days of the early settlers! Mr. Taylor brings research and investigation rather than credulous hype and sensationalized speculation to this work, an enjoyable read and a quality addition to your library. Also recommended is "Strange Highways" by Jerry D. Coleman another book of the same vain found here at Amazon.com. Great read Mr. Taylor!

A Pretty Good Book!,

This review is from: Out Past the Campfire Light (Paperback)
I liked the book, but I like most of Troy Taylor's books and own many of them. Troy takes a great interest in not only the haunting aspect of his stories but the history behind them for added background information. I found the stories in the book concerning "vanishing" people - those folks who just seemed to disappear without a trace especially creepy and interesting. I do know one thing, after reading this book, I won't go hiking/ walking alone on a deserted road or trail ever! Also included in the book, Troy takes a stab at Bigfoot, werewolves and other strange creatures. There is also a section on haunted roads and the story of the infamous "Donner Party." Check out Troy's web site at www.prairieghosts.com. I have always found him to be very personable and willing to answer your questions by email.

Good read, page turner,
By Rugersix (SAN FRANCISCO, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Out Past the Campfire Light (Paperback)
I liked this book. It is a relaxing, interesting, seemingly level headed recounting of legends and folklore. I don't believe in spooks and ghosts, but the history related here is fun to read. I admit that a few stories seemed stranger than I can explain, and I enjoyed the book. First edition, but the editor, proofreader, and author's reading of the galleys should have caught many of the sentence structure errors. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Second edition, if any, should catch all these little mistakes. I'm the kind of reader who will spot the ONE typo in a book. I found about six per chapter in this one. No big deal, just should not have gone to the printer this way.
