Book Reviews

Being an informed researcher means reading...lots and lots of reading!  This section of Theresa's Haunted History is designed to share with you some of the many paranormal non-fiction titles that come across my desk and my personal thoughts on them.

Most of the books reviewed will be of interest to the tri-state area, West Virginia in particular.  However, from time to time, I will be reviewing some of the more mainstream paranormal titles that grace the shelves of my personal library.  As I read around 50 paranormal titles a year, not including the science, psychology and West Virginia history books that I use in my research, please check back often for updates.

Happy Reading!

*Theresa's Note*
I have a particular fondness for well-written self-published or low distribution titles pertaining to West Virginia and tri-state haunted history.  If you are an author or publisher of such a work and would like to see it reviewed here on Theresa's Haunted History, please email me at:  theresarhps@yahoo.com
