After three years of rambling, researching, and writing, I am very proud to announce the inaugural volume of my Haunts & Hollows series of road trip guides to our country’s dark side. This first volume, Georgia Backroads, gives maps, coordinates, histories, and more to 80+ unusual sites across the Peach State. The book will debut in May with a local launch party here in Orlando. It should be for sale on Amazon and Apple Books this month. From the back of the book:
Your Guided Tour of Georgia’s Dark Side
From its historic coastal cities to the antebellum lantations of a society long passed, Georgia has no shortage of destinations for those who love to explore. Behind the rich facade, however, lies a grim legacy steeped in the dark, the bizarre, and the macabre. Georgia Backroads guides you from St. Marys through Savannah, Athens, Gainesville, and more—all the way to the North Carolina state line—and includes:
✦ The Surrency Horror
✦ Old Candler Hospital
✦ The Screven Spook Light
✦ The Legend of Abram Simons & The Devil
✦ The Kelly Barnes Dam Disaster
✦ And more than 75 other Georgia localesEvery Haunts & Hollows road trip guide takes you on a step-by-step tour of scores of unexpected sites: forgotten family graves, abandoned burial sites, true crime scenes, paranormal encounters, and historic mysteries. Each entry includes GPS coordinates, historical references, visitors’ notes, and more.
