I enjoyed reading these stories.  I like reading Ghost Stories to learn about the history of a place and these did not disappoint.  The writing was easy to read and fun.  The author does provide coordinates if you want to travel to the places.  Enjoy these spooky reads.

After reading this book I need to get my ghost gear and pass port and head to Halifax. There are 50 stories of strange, creepy, and scary ghosts and haunted sites in Nova Scotia Canada. I really enjoyed reading this book. It gives you history of the site and tells you how if known the haunting began. I love books about hauntings and history. This book covered both subject. 



Thanks Netgalley for letting me read this book.

Where the Ghosts Are is an elaborate self-guided tour of the spookiest places in Nova Scotia. It's a light, enjoyable read with good stories for adolescents and adults. If you enjoy good storytelling about a place while being in that location, this is the perfect book for you. While I was not familiar with the area, the stories resonate with traditional ghost tales.

Folklore is quintessential because it helps us understand our humanity. Love, loss, pain, and suffering. These are feelings that can be difficult to understand and are uniquely human. Ghost stories have been shared among us for eons. We enjoy them for many reasons. They are exciting tales that keep us in suspense, plus some of us just like a good scare.

In "Where the Ghosts Are", Steve Vernon gives us a detailed account of the various mysterious paranormal happenings around Nova Scotia: ethereal specters, ghost trains, UFOs, and  a stop at a Tim Hortons...this book has it all. 

The writing in this book is very light and fun. Reading through the different chapters it was as if I was having a conversation with the author as opposed to just reading his research. This makes the book approachable to all audiences. As he states in the book, he is an "old-school storyteller", an art form that is dwindling in our technology obsessed world, but one that is very much welcome.

This was a good book. It described supposed haunted locations in Halifax and discussed quirky, fun information that I haven't heard anywhere else. I liked that that writer didn't take himself seriously and threw in fun quips. The writing was concise and presented in a thoughtful manner. I really enjoyed the stories and legends that were presented. The writing was engaging and fun. I found myself reading this quickly because I liked what I was reading. The writer had a breezy style that I found fun. I especially enjoyed that the writer included the history of the area that he wrote about. That brought the stories to life for me.
