Key West's past comes alive with thirteen incredible stories of the southernmost ghosts. From Victorian era spirits returning to claim what is rightfully theirs, to haunted dolls that continue to send chills down their visitors' spines, Ghosts of Key West beautifully captures the true spirit of Florida's second oldest city. Ghosts of cigar makers, pirates, wreckers and voodoo practitioners all await you. While their ghostly journeys continue through time, yours is just about to begin.Ghosts of Key West author David L. Sloan founded Key West's original ghost tour and is the leading authority on the island's hauntings.
I liked this book. When i first read it it didn't do much for me. I read it a second time after the Key West Ghost Tour and I have to admit I liked it alot more. Most of the stories are great and somewhat creepy. I would tell anyone interested in some good ghost stories to get this book now. larrivlle was me before. Great book. Buy it.
Great companion to the ghost tour!

Although the ghost stories in this book won't keep you up nights, it's still a nice introduction to the ghost stories of Key West.I suggest reading the book before a trip to Key West. Stay at one of the "haunted" b & b's and maybe grab a meal at the Hard Rock. Follow up the trip with the walking ghost tour. A great way to spice up a trip to the Keys.
Excellent Ghost Book!

This is a great ghost story book of Key West. Pictures are excellent and add an authentic creepy reality to the stories. I also highly recommend the tour leaving from La Concha, it is awesome! I read the book after the tour and was surprised to find different stories in it that we had not heard on the tour. As a fan of ghost books and city tours, I can say that both were better than that of St. Augustine or New Orleans. 3 cheers for Key Weird!

This book was fun and when followed by the actual Key West ghost tour that departs from the Concha Hotel, you will want to go back and read it again. It does not try to convice you or spook you, it just states as many facts as they were able to verify. The rest is left to you to believe or disbelieve. Fun reading, with short chapters. Good bedtime stories to read by yourself or to read out loud to your parter before going to sleep.
