[Francisco Becerra · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very brief but enlightening tour of ghostly Boston, its haunted places and mysteries. Too many interesting stories very tightly bound, which diminishes the final impact on the reader. However, it's a wonderful door that leads to misty discoveries.

Really interesting topic and he had some stories I'd never heard before. But it could have used a little more editing.
