To be honest, the only criticism I can think of is that I wish it was ten times longer.
Wonderfully detailed into each topic. I really hope they write more.

A really interesting, scholarly book about the dark side of legends and folklore and the concept of dark tourism related to all of that. At times, it was dry or rambly and there were points where I was dying for MORE info but, overall, it was a well done, basic treatment of the topic - everything from folk ghosts to urban legends. I have to admit that my favorite bit was the thought that modern day ghosts and hauntings are the evolution of the faeries of previous generations and that alien abduction stories are the evolution of the future. I know, I know. It sounds a bit bonkers but think about it. The language used is awfully similiar.

There isn’t anything in here that you couldn’t google and get an answer that’s just as good. It was fine. I thought the chapter on dark tourism was the most interesting and the illustrations are very pretty.
