LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH OMG!!! Whoever knows me knows I'm a sucker for stories like this book right here. I recommend everyone to read this book asap.
Much more than ghost stories. This Atlas is amazing! Full of history and cultural beliefs too. From Sarah Winchester's house to the Catemaco festival of witchcraft to Aokigahara Forest in Japan, this book has everything. Highly recommend!
I would like to thank NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press for the ARC.
A fantastic read on everything paranormal. I love the research and in depth details of each location. This can be a guide to all paranormal detectives on what to expect while visiting. Full color real life pictures help the reader to invision themselve right in the center of each location. It is a great reference to have on hand.
Wonderful book with a compassionate and fair approach to the supernatural and paranormal whilst still being firmly rooted in reality and nature. My only negatives would be p66 there is some confusion about "born in Haiti" and "moved to Haiti aged 10" which seems weird, but on the next page it is revealed she had never lived there anyway so maybe not of great importance. I also am not a huge fan of the overly blue filter on all the pictures but I get that it adds to the atmosphere. Full review linked
Thank you for the ARC of Atlas Of Paranormal Places by Evelyn Hollow.
I nearly screamed when I saw that I could request this book and was accepted! I came across Evelyn Hollow on Danny Robbins podcast 'Uncanny' and saw her live at the Uncanny live tour in Sheffield this year. This book is written so well and is absolutely beautiful. The pictures were perfect and there was so much information.
Although I have read the ARC I am also going to purchase this book because I would love a physical copy to have at home.
As I’m sure many others have as well, I came across Evelyn Hollow’s work from the Uncanny podcast. She’s a paranormal psychologist who has released this non fiction book as a look into different haunted locations around the world. It’s extremely well written but still accessible and the accompanying photographs work beautifully in bringing the stories to life. A must for fans of the paranormal.
Atlas of Paranormal Places opens with a world map and the locations of the paranormal places pinned on it.
The range of places covered is amazing, Each place is introduced with interesting facts, an engaging text about the context and depending on the place, a map (Lexus), extremely hight quality photos, photos and/or illustrations.
Quarto always does it.
As both a general reader (your average reader) and an artist, I enjoyed this book very much and took a lot of value out of it.
I will purchase it.
