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.
*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
