Mahnke also crosses land and sea to visit frightful sites--from New Orleans to Richmond, Virginia, to the brooding, ancient castles of England--each with its own echoes of dark deeds, horrible tragedies, and shocking evil still resounding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled with evocative illustrations, this eerie tour of lurid landmarks and doomed destinations is just the ticket to take armchair travelers with a taste for the macabre to places they never thought they'd visit in their wildest, scariest dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe World of Lore series includes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMONSTROUS CREATURES - WICKED MORTALS - DREADFUL PLACES\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorld of Lore: Dreadful Places\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Well-written, rooted in deep historical research, and ridiculously entertaining . . .
