challenging dark informative reflective

4.0

A spectacular exploration of not just "haunted" places, but also the idea of what it means to be haunted and what we mean when we talk about ghosts. Aside from plenty of historical information, there are several points of sociopolitical commentary that made me think of the idea of haunted places a little differently. 
A note - being that this book tackles some of the terrible eras of American history, please be prepared for a brief but graphic description of physical harm to those who were enslaved.
