Reads of 2016&#8220Alively assemblage and smart analysis of dozens of haunting

stories&#8230aborbing&#8230and] intellectually intriguing.&#8221&#8212Th New York Times

Book ReviewFrom the author of The Unidentified, an intellectual feast for fans of offbeat history

that takes readers on a road trip through some of the country&#8217smost infamously haunted

places&#8212an deep into the dark side of our history.Colin Dickey is on the trail of

America&#8217sghosts. Crammed into old houses and hotels, abandoned prisons and empty

hospitals, the spirits that linger continue to capture our collective imagination, but why? His own

fascination piqued by a house hunt in Los Angeles that revealed derelict foreclosures and

&#8220zobie homes,&#8221Dickey embarks on a journey across the continental United States to

decode and unpack the American history repressed in our most famous haunted places. Some

have established reputations as &#8220thmost haunted mansion in America,&#8221or

&#8220thmost haunted prison&#8221others, like the haunted Indian burial grounds in West

Virginia, evoke memories from the past our collective nation tries to forget.With boundless

curiosity, Dickey conjures the dead by focusing on questions of the living&#8212ho do we, the

living, deal with stories about ghosts, and how do we inhabit and move through spaces that have

been deemed, for whatever reason, haunted? Paying attention not only to the true facts behind a

ghost story, but also to the ways in which changes to those facts are made&#8212an why those

changes are made&#8212Dikey paints a version of American history left out of the textbooks, one

of things left undone, crimes left unsolved.Spellbinding, scary, and wickedly insightful, Ghostland

discovers the past we&#8217remost afraid to speak of aloud in the bright light of day is the same

past that tends to linger in the ghost stories we whisper in the dark.
