James Caskey has continued his paranormal exploration of major Southern cities with this casually brilliant tour though Charleston's ghost stories, weird paranormal events and dark history. As he did so well in the books, "Haunted History of New Orleans" and "Haunted Savannah", Caskey deconstructs many of Charleston's famous (and infamous) ghost stories and puts them in the proper historical perspective.This is less a "ghost story book" than a historical re-evaluation of those stories. It strips away some of the ridiculous flourishes added by tour guides, other writers and locals through the years. It can easily be read for pure enjoyment and then set on the shelf to be used for reference purposes for years to come. Bravo, Mr. Caskey!
