About the author
David Domine is the author of a series of books on the ghost lore of Old Louisville, the Victorian-era historic district in Louisville, Kentucky recognized as the third-largest National Preservation District in the United States. His titles, including Ghosts of Old Louisville (2017), Phantoms of Old Louisville (2017), Haunts of Old Louisville, and the earlier True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood (2014), each collect stories and resident accounts tied to the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts mansions, which Domine presents as among the most haunted urban neighborhoods in the country. The University Press of Kentucky has published several titles in the series, giving the later books a more formal regional-history presentation than the earlier, independently published volume. Domine's focus throughout is narrow and consistent: the architecture, residents, and reputed hauntings of one specific historic neighborhood, written for readers with an interest in local ghost history and Louisville's Victorian architecture.
