Travelogue of horror

Tony Urban

If your idea of a perfect vacation is visiting sites where fright flicks were filmed, homes of horror writers, and UFO crash sites, you'll enjoy this trip to fifteen states, from Maine to Georgia. Along the way monsters were hunted, vampire graves tracked down, a strange mix of paranormal and odd locations across the Eastern US were visited, and Stephen King was met. Hitch a ride, but remember that you never know what you might find -- or what might find you!
