Macabre and morbid city offerings and various vile movie locations are explored in hair-raising detail in this entertaining travel guide. The names and addresses of assorted people, places,
and things associated with the horror genre—such as the real-life Baltimore haunts of Edgar Allan Poe, the final resting place of Bela Lugosi, and Stephen King's Maine—are coupled with
trivia, travel tips, photographs, and a ghoulishly fun narrative, making this a creepily informative alternative to traditional guidebooks. The old haunts of cult classics such as Dawn of
the Dead, The Exorcist, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are also discussed.
