I hate to do this, but I’m on a short deadline to finish editing the text of The Haunted Mansion Project: Year Two, which is coming from Damnation Books in April. I can’t shift gears enough to write a Cemetery of the Week post tonight, so I refer you to one of my favorites:
Manhattan’s newest National Park, the African Burial Ground National Monument.
My book of cemetery travel essays -- Wish You Were Here: Cemetery Travel Adventures -- is coming out from Western Legends Press shortly.
Also coming soon is The Haunted Mansion Project: Year Two, which I edited for Damnation Books. The book collects fiction, poetry, and site reports by 21 authors who spent four days in a haunted house.
For 10 years, I edited the cult nonfiction magazine Morbid Curiosity. Scribner collected my favorite essays into Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues: True Stories of the Unsavory, Unwise, Unorthodox and Unusual.
You can follow my fascination with graveyards at CemeteryTravel.com. I also blog about writing at RedRoom.com.
Good luck on the editing project! It sounds interesting.
It’s going to be a great book. I just need to get all the pieces in from the authors and we’ll be good to go.
