The Map of Lost Places: Stories From Strange and Haunted Realms

A travel guide to hauntings and the haunted, to lands with their own power, and to the communities that spring from these strange realms. In your hands is a guide to the strange and surreal. From arcades along a boardwalk and jetties at the edges of tourist towns, to a rural village in Pakistan and hollows hidden deep within a forest in Pennsylvania, strange things can happen no matter where you are.
You can become lost in a city crowded with people, haunted within your own home, and slip from one reality into another in the space of a step. With twenty-two stories by authors such as Brian Keene, Maurice Broaddus, Ai Jiang, Samit Basu, and KS Walker, editors Sheree Renée Thomas and Lesley Conner take readers on a tour of places where weird things happen. Places where ghosts are real, old gods are hungry, and towns are not as idyllic as they appear to be.
