This is more like a very short guide book to haunted locations in the south than a book of stories. There are 90 locations in it, I believe, listed in groups by state. Each location is given 1 to 1 1/2 pages for a very brief description of the most popular stories, and there is usually a photo on the page accompanying the description. So with about 170 pages (excluding photo credits and bibliography), you actually get about 85 or so pages of actual written pages.
Of those pages, Ms. Walker and M This is more like a very short guide book to haunted locations in the south than a book of stories.

So with about 170 pages (excluding photo credits and bibliography), you actually get about 85 or so pages of actual written pages.
Of those pages, Ms. Walker and Ms. Gary desperately need a new editor. There are some glaring grammar, spelling, and in some cases historical errors that could have been easily fixed by a good proofreader.
But, for what it is, it’s not a bad book. My family loves taking road trips, so I’ll probably end up giving this book to my kids as a jumping off point of interesting places to go see. But I definitely won’t have trouble sleeping tonight. It’s not that level of scary at all.
