I read this as I love Caitlin Doughty's videos and books and she recommended it on her channel. There was lots of interesting information in the book as well as some good analysis of certain stories, but most of the analysis came across as kind of forced. I also don't know if organising the stories by type of building or place worked for me. I would have liked them to be organized by type of story or part of American history that they referenced. I struggled to connect with the idea that houses seem haunted because of strange parts of the architecture or that hotels seem haunted because they're not quite like home. It didn't really hold my focus very well and was kind of hard to get through, but I did learn some interesting facts.
