$\"\"$ I love books that give me excuses. Books about magical cocktails as an excuse to drink. Books about food magic as an excuse to eat. Books about magical places as an excuse to travel. I\u2019m an enabler who loves to be enabled herself. Therefore, I read \u201cPassport to the Paranormal: Your Guide to Haunted Spots in America\u201d by Rich Newman. (\u201c200 Terrifying Places You Can Visit!\u201d the cover touts.)<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of ways to learn about creepy locales, in America or internationally, particularly if you have access to the Discovery Channel. Even the book\u2019s author refers to visiting many of the locations mentioned in the book while filming for a Japanese television show about the paranormal. I\u2019m not going to lie; the paranormal location marketplace is crowded. Bordering on, too crowded? Yet here I am, writing about Newman\u2019s latest. Why?<\/p>\n

\u201cPassport to the Paranormal\u201d narrows the focus to the United States and given the lockdown way we\u2019re living our lives these days closer to home is good. Also, I don\u2019t know the author personally, but in writing he\u2019s far more entertaining than many hosts of paranormal television shows. And in even more enabling, \u201cPassport to the Paranormal\u201d also includes tourism tips.<\/p>\n

Rich Newman\u2019s \u201cPassport to the Paranormal\u201d is a thorough and entertaining entry in the paranormal places\u2019 genre. If you\u2019re looking for an excuse to travel, you\u2019ll find it here!<\/p>\n
