He's a great chronicler of human frailty and strength, and his style either aggravates or pleases, reader depending: very little use of punctuation.

Ghosts: True Encounters with the World Beyond, by Hanz Holzer.

Harp said:Holzer's book on Washington DC ghosts is a good read.
Poe is one of my favorite poets. He dedicated The Raven to Elizabeth Barrett Browning
and their correspondence regarding such offer a slight glimpse inside the lives of Poetry.
