Fun Fact
Hollow delivers a compelling, if somewhat sensationalist, compilation of global hauntings. It excels in atmosphere, offering a rich tapestry of eerie narratives that will delight occult enthusiasts. However, skeptics may find the lack of rigorous debunking frustrating. It sits comfortably in the realm of paranormal tourism literature, best appreciated as a fascinating collection of myths rather than a scientific survey. A must-have for shelves dedicated to the unexplained.

While visually engaging and well-organized, this book may disappoint readers seeking rigorous academic proof or scientific debunking of paranormal claims. It is strictly a curated collection of lore and anecdote, not a forensic investigation. Skeptics who view such topics as mere superstition will find little value here, as the text embraces the supernatural without critical distance. However, for enthusiasts of ghost stories and occult history, it succeeds beautifully in its atmospheric intent. The writing is accessible, though the lack of analytical depth means it functions more as a beautiful compendium of myths than a serious sociological study. It is best enjoyed by those already inclined to believe in the unseen.

Good addition to the shelf

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. You can tell why this work has endured. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.

Good but demanding

This exceeded my expectations. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Recommended with reservations.
