About the author
Ellen Robson writes regional ghost-story guides centered on the American Southwest. Haunted Highway: The Spirits of Route 66 (Primer Publishers, 2003) combines the history and lore of the highway with sixty-six reported ghost encounters along its length, presented as a travel guide complete with maps, photographs and location details for readers who want to visit the sites themselves. Haunted Arizona: Ghosts of the Grand Canyon State (Primer Publishers, 2002) collects hauntings tied to Arizona's territorial and frontier past, featuring figures ranging from outlaws to Victorian-era residents. Both books favor a site-by-site, guidebook structure over narrative or analytical treatment, aiming to send readers to specific haunted locations rather than to explain the phenomena they describe. Robson's work sits within the regional ghost-tourism tradition, useful to readers planning to travel Route 66 or explore Arizona's reputedly haunted sites as much as to readers of ghost stories generally.
