Nashville Haunted Handbook
Nashville Haunted Handbook is the second book in the new Haunted Handbook line within the popular America's Haunted Road Trip series. The Haunted Handbooks are city-specific travel guides to nearly one hundred places within a major city.
Each of the places in Nashville Haunted Handbook is presented in a two-page spread that includes directions, a brief history, details about how the place is haunted, and advice on visiting the place. Each spread also includes one or two photos. The places are organized into sections, including schoolhouses, roads and bridges, hotels and inns, and others.
Nashville Haunted Handbook is written with the ghost enthusiast in mind. All 100 chapters contain information on the history as well as the haunting surrounding each location, as well as detailed directions on how to locate each site. Many of the chapters also contain insider information that only a local would know, making it easier for ghost hunters to investigate.
Donna L. Marsh has always loved a good ghost story. Growing up in Maysville, Kentucky, she cleaned the local library out of every book she could find by the age of 10. When the family moved to her father’s birthplace of Cookeville, Tennessee, in the mid-1970s, that love went with her. She found the library and started over on a new set of books. A single mother, Marsh resides in Nashville with her younger son, a talented musician who plays nine instruments, and the Hounds of Hell, a weimaraner with ADHD and one diva of a Pembroke Welsh corgi. Her older son, a board-game enthusiast and self-proclaimed pop-culture guru, attends graduate school on the West Coast. Marsh spends her days writing a column about ghosts and hauntings and her nights investigating them with the American Paranormal Society, a group she helped found in 2003.
