As someone who has read and enjoyed several of Mr. Citro's previous books on Vermont and New England ghosts and unexplained phenomena, I was eagerly anticipating this latest effort. I was, however, disappointed to find that it is a very slight volume with bare thumbnail descriptions of Vermont ghostly activity, usually with only the most rudimentary description of where they occurred. As one who is becoming something of an amateur ghost-hunter, this was a let-down, as the title and description of this work would have you believe it provides directions to find these haunted locales. Sadly, it does not.

I ordered this book for my husband's birthday. He just loved it! I read it after him, and I loved it, too! Joseph Citro is an excellent writer. This wasn't the first book of his that I've read. I would recomend this author to anyone who likes real ghost stories.

There are a lot of strange things and places in Vermont and Joe Citro knows where all of them are. Then again, I've seen a lot of scary things on Church St., Burlington on a Saturday afternoon!

Joseph A. Citro is a "one-of-a-kind writer". I have read all his books and his writing style and sense of humor combined with serious factual accounts, leaves me breathless. I highly recommend him even if you have no interest in Vermont and its people.
I look forward to his next book coming out in October 2009.

This is just the kind of travel guide I like: condensed little stories of doom and eccentricity set in the pastoral splendor and the down-home warmth that is Vermont. I don't think any other state has earned this type of tribute. Just a wonderful book.
