This Haunted Land explores the history inside American ghost stories

Betsy Gaines Quammen’s new nonfiction book approaches haunted places through folklore, memory and the histories they preserve.

For readers whose interest in horror extends to the origins of a haunting, This Haunted Land: Reckoning with Ghosts and the Stories that Shape America approaches ghost stories as cultural history. Torrey House Press lists Betsy Gaines Quammen’s nonfiction book as available from September 1. Its description connects

accounts of haunted American places with memory, mourning and the histories communities choose to preserve or obscure. The edition and its approach This is not a horror novel or a claim that supernatural events have been proved. The publisher presents it as an investigation of folklore and social history, travelling

between places including a former uranium-mining community and a historic Florida fort. The publisher’s edition page identifies the 250-page hardcover with ISBN 9798890920478 . That identifier distinguishes the edition discussed here; it does not establish a matching audiobook or release date in every territory. Torrey
