There is no good putting a ghost out in this scorching weather. Summer 2010 will be hot. Therefore, it will be difficult this season to cross our friends in the Other World. To fill this void and waiting for better days (that is to say more cold, gloomy and macabre), I invite you to take a look at the latest publication Gremese, Haunted houses & places of ghostly world. Signed duet by Alison Rattle and Allison Vale, the book should make you wait until the Day of the Dead!
First, let's look at this case of 207 pages. As usual, Editions Gremese treat the package. Hardcover, linked pages and not stapled, so parchment paper and superb illustrations decorate this ghostly journey. Although, from a personal perspective, the human skull with red eyes protruding spring cover lack of sobriety and modernity ...
Then, let's dive carefully and without restraint inside this puzzle with a introducing very fast when we are told how to identify "visitors from beyond." The risk analysis is on a light offering some answers to common questions. But on this point, it seems obvious that the authors have a more theoretical than practical world of ghosts. Rattle and Vale a little tangled in the brushes classifying such ghosts in the same category as the evil spirits, elemental spirits, the wisps, or even the ghouls (sic)!
Joking. It's time to start our expedition spectral and go to meet the most famous ghosts our globe. Because that is what it is. The authors reveal in detail the genesis of the most famous ghost stories. The adventure begins on North American soil with the ghosts of the White House, Alcatraz or the benevolent ghosts of flight 401. After a quick hook in Rose Hall and a visit to the Chase family vault in the Caribbean, the journey continues in South America with the haunted house of the Count de Lemos, or the poignant meeting of the spectra of the unfortunate victims of the dictator Pinochet ...
Aboard a ghost ship of course, set sail for the Old Europe and its old ghosts. At any lord, my honor: this stage begins in Great Britain with a stop at the Tower of London, Drury Lane Theatre at Leap Castle and some other haunted places famous for its ghosts. A stride and we're moving in the Catacombs of Paris. Then, towards Greece, to the cave of the infamous bandit Davel. Before leaving the old Europe, we continue our journey in Denmark, Spain, Poland to finish in the lagoon of Venice, Italy.
Stop a moment and recharge. Because, for your pleasure, this trip around the dark world is far over. Get ready to tread the territory of the shadows in Australia and Africa, to complete your shipment brilliantly confronting the terrible ghosts of Asia. No less than forty-three steps ghostly and fantastic offers this guide. A companion background very smart to not get lost on back roads obscure and uncertain.
small detail to note: Some pictures do not match the story they illustrate. The proof of the famous Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, a haunting story of New Orleans, or the famous shot taken by the Reverend Hardy to Quenn's House at Greenwich. The latter invites himself to the haunted hotel located in Banff in Canada! Or perhaps is it simply the work of a trickster spirit who wanted to cover their tracks?
To conclude, this book easy to read you will easily pick up. Certainly it is not essential to professional ghost hunt, but it will delight the avid lover of the most famous ghost stories that haunt the world.
Bon voyage and please come back soon!
