I picked this up while on a vacation in South Dakota. It definitely added an extra zest to my travels, going around in Deadwood and Rapid City, Badlands, etc. and reading about the "spooky side" of such locations. The entries are short, concise, and tell you what's been seen, a short blurb on the history of the place, and what if anything the authors found upon "investigation" of the site. Each site includes a photo and driving directions so the reader can find the site and check it out. The entries are not too in-depth, which is nice because it doesn't get boring.

My only critique of this book is the sloppy editing, there are numerous typos. Whoever edited this should be fired. The sloppy editing does take away a little from the credibility of the book, but it's a light-hearted treatment so I guess it's not to be taken too seriously.

I live in SD, and this is a great book. Everyone who sees it on my bookshelf has to pull it down, flip through it, and say that they have to get a copy. I've been to around 1/2 the sites, had a few encounters, I believe. I will be taking some fun road trips this summer to vist the other half.
