Weird New England: Your Guide to New England's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets Paperback – October 5, 2010

We love this book series! They make fantastic gifts and the facts are definitely weird and unique.

There is a lot of interesting information in here. I am just disappointed there isn't better information about how to find some of these places. There is a section about steps carved in a boulder and the author even notes that the locals didn't know where to find it . . . it would have been great if the author had let us know where to find it. Instead, you just read about it but if you want to visit the boulder you'll have to figure it out for yourself.There is also a page or two about a glowing gravestone in the South St. cemetery in Portsmouth, NH. Again, no clues about how to find the glowing stone. That cemetery is HUGE so it's not like someone can figure it out based on the information in the book.That is disappointing. I bought the book so I could find new and interesting things to see in this area. Directions would have been helpful.

My friend has this book, and I enjoyed reading it so much I had to get my own copy! I just got it, and cannot wait to settle into the covers and have a good Reading session.

Great!

I'm so glad I discovered Joseph Citro. I've begun reading all of his books since the first one I read, "Shadow Child" was so good and scary. He writes fiction and non-fiction and this book is non-fiction. All of the New England states are covered and I was surprised at how weird Connecticut is! I love reading about weird places and Mr. Citro does an excellent job in describing weird places in New England and scaring the reader in the process. Also, he is a proficient writer who excels at presenting facts in a clear, concise, suspenseful fashion. I think he is as good as Stephen King.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Attention to detail, a fantastic and engaging writing style. Weird has something for everyone. Worth every penny.

a real conversation starter. can't wait to go look at some of it in person

This was a gift for my boyfriend. Since we’re both from New England, we figured why not get this and plan a road trip? It’s a really good book

Here I try to establish that NEW England is as weird as OLD England. I think I build a pretty good case!
