The Ghosts Books
Fellow author, Robbi Courtaway, author of Spirits of St. Louis, in a Fate magazine review: "with ten new chapters, surpasses the first edition by a country mile…a comprehensive guide to out-of- the-way haunts...well-researched, well-written, well-illustrated."
Missouri Ghost Hunters Society said on their web site: "outstanding... informative... great to curl up with by the fire on a stormy night ...a must-read for ghost lovers...MGHS gives it five stars, our top rating."
Reader Elizabeth Holloman of New York state said "get More Missouri Ghosts today and lay down to enjoy it after supper. It is beautiful as well as ghostly! I live not too far from Washington Irving's home. He would have enjoyed your book."
Troy Taylor, author of many books on ghosts and operator of Prairie Ghosts.com, "a sequel to her ground-breaking original volume Missouri Ghosts... explores a number of new haunting's all over the state...once again, highly recommended. Pick one up; you are sure to love it!"
From Tisha Wilhelm in Senior Eclectic, "Most stories are lighthearted and some even made me smile, but one night as I lay in bed alone, reading this, I heard noises behind me in the hall... I kept on reading while glancing nervously over my shoulder... tales are about apparitions, poltergeists and good ole' haunted houses, and historic things like the Goldenrod Showboat in St. Louis... I recommend these books only if you want thrillers... don't read them just before going to sleep."
Chris Woodyard, author of several books about Ohio ghosts, and operator of an online book store, Invisible Ink, says "an exceptional feature is groups of ghosts, quite an unusual occurrence" and "super atmospheric illustrations by Adele Graham"..."this is a long-awaited and much needed book..."
Marian Fleischman, bookstore operator in Sedalia, MO, in Ozarks Mountaineer review, "stories range from the frightening to the silly and back again. Ms. Gilbert provides biographical and historical details that enrich the reader's experience." "One of the most charming aspects is chapter headers... a wonderful collection of quotations that set her scenes. One favorite: Harry Truman's response to questions about White House ghosts; "I'm sure they're here, but if I met one, I'd not be so scared as I am of the nuts I meet every day."
