This review is from: In the Vestibule: True Ghost Stories from the Delmarva Peninsula to the Jersey Shore (Spirits Between the Bays Series, Volume IV) (Paperback)

As the "Haunted House" begins to build with the first book in this series, Ed keeps you spellbound with true stories told by people that it happened to. This is a book that keeps you spellbound and you can't put it down until you have read it from cover to cover. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, and always you keep looking over your shoulder as you listen to the creaks and thumps in the night, wondering if just maybe you may be adding your story to those who have told theirs before you!
Buy this book...and the others in the series...you will not be disappointed!
