⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Added this to my reference shelf. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
This has been on my wishlist for months. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm.
Mullaly offers a compelling roadmap for those eager to explore Phoenix's spectral secrets without resorting to cliché. The book succeeds by transforming a sprawling metropolis into a labyrinth of the uncanny, detailing specific locations like the Hotel San Carlos with unique narratives of the departed. However, this title is not suited for readers seeking academic rigor or historical documentation devoid of supernatural interpretation. Skeptics who prefer strictly factual accounts of Arizona's history may find the spiritualist framing too speculative. It is best enjoyed by those already inclined toward paranormal investigation and local lore, rather than general tourists looking for standard historical guides.
