His columns and articles have been featured locally in The Key West Weekly and Key West Citizen and globally in National Geographic and other publications. David has been featured on The History Channel, Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, and Food Network. He co-founded The Key Lime Festival and launched one of America's first ghost tours in Key West. Through his tours and events, Sloan actively raises money for local non-profits. He is named after his great, great, great grandfather whose Union regiment was in charge of Key West during the Civil War.

Sloan's books are easy reads and most people dig them. His unique perspective on the Keys has entertained millions. Check out a few of his books before you visit Key West, or take a ghost tour with Sloan (http://ghostkeywest.com) next time you are in Key West. You won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book about Robert the Doll and the Otto family. After seeing a program on TV, I found out about thus book! Glad I decided to read it because of course this book had more details.

This book was well written and includes many real photos, letters, and other documents. Well worth the read!

Good book

This book gives a detailed account of the history of Robert the Doll. From family history, how the doll was obtained, and the skepticism of the doll, it's all found here. This information isn't found anywhere else. Thank you David Sloan for researching this information. I don't know if I believe in Robert, but I will say this: "I apologize for being so curious about you. I believe you are something but not entirely sure what you are. As someone wrote to you I believe you are a spirit teaching others about manners'. Peace be with you and please don't curse me. I think I've had enough misfortunes in my life. 😅.
Signed,
Curious mind

I had never heard of this doll but had seen him in a few movies so I wanted to learn why this doll was supposed to be evil.There is letters from people who have seen him and have been affected by the doll.I am not sure what made the doll the way it is but I do believe there is something special about him from what the book says and reviews from people who have visited the doll in his new home

The book also includes numerous anecdotes about strange occurances connected to Robert. The book provides many theories about the origin of Robert's curse.

A very good, insightful, well-researched book involving one of the most enduring "hauntings" of all time. David Sloan has truly immersed himself in the world of Robert the Doll and created a book that compiles the facts and sorts true from myth.
