Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

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.
