About the author
Dolores Riccio is credited with two guidebooks to reportedly haunted sites in the United States, Haunted Houses U.S.A. and its follow-up More Haunted Houses, both published by Gallery Books in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The books work as travel-oriented surveys, describing specific locations, from restaurants and mansions to graveyards and a roadside cave, along with the stories attached to each, and the first volume includes sixteen pages of photographs. Rather than arguing a case for the paranormal, they function as regional catalogues meant to send curious readers to places they can actually visit. They suit readers drawn to ghost lore as a form of local history and armchair travel rather than those looking for investigative or scholarly treatment of hauntings.
