HAUNTED HOUSES FOR THE MILLIONS by Susy Smith









Readers beware, you're in for a scare! So says the ad copy for this volume from the prolific Susy Smith, although the many spirits within seem more cozy and creaky than outright terrifying ...

The chapter on Ghosts, Hauntings, and Famous People features some heavy hitters such as "the King of the Ghouls" Vincent Price who details some family history with ghosts, as well as Berlin bombshell actress Elke Sommer who lives with a drunken bastard of a ghost in her Beverly Hills home! The recently departed Olivia de Havilland and Honeymooners headliner Aubrey Meadows are some other celebrities who provide spooky ghost stories for Ms. Smith.

Here's to more and better things in the new year, and damn the Deros!
