Summary: Bad writing, silly stories
Comment: A friend lent me this book. I was looking for interesting places to visit in PA. This is not a useful book for that.
The stories are not researched. Similar stories can be found in any mediocre book of ghost or weird stories. Nothing about the book is "Pennsylvania." How many books have stories about spontaneous combustion? What makes this a PA story? Stories about large fish? How is that PA?
There is a story about a cemetery on Blue Myst road related by Anonymous. There is no other information about the location of the cemetery. There is nothing PA about this story. Sure, it's local lore, but local to whom?
I'd enumerate some of the writing faux pas, but you don't care. The problem with too many books is that people read them and don't like them but don't know why. It's because of the bad writing. This book is afflicted by bad writing.
I am glad I got a chance to look at this book before investing any money.
