The World of Lore: Dreadful Places

The World of Lore: Dreadful Places

Captivating stories of the places where human evil has left a nefarious mark, featuring stories from the podcast Loreâ€”now a streaming television seriesâ€”including â€œEchoes,â€ â€œWithering Heights,â€ and â€œBehind Closed Doorsâ€ as well as rare material.
Â
Sometimes you walk into a room, a building, or even a town, and you feel it. Something seems offâ€”an atmosphere that leaves you oddly unsettled, with a sense of lingering darkness. Join Aaron Mahnke, the host of the popular podcast Lore, as he explores some of these dreadful places and the history that haunts them.
Â
Mahnke takes us to Colorado and the palatial Stanley Hotel, where wealthy guests enjoyed views of the Rocky Mountains at the turn of the twentieth centuryâ€”and where, decades later, a restless author would awaken from a nightmare, inspired to write one of the most revered horror novels of all time. Mahnke also crosses land and sea to visit frightful sitesâ€”from New Orleans to Richmond, Virginia, to the brooding, ancient castles of Englandâ€”each with its own echoes of dark deeds, horrible tragedies, and shocking evil still resounding.
Â
Filled with evocative illustrations, this eerie tour of lurid landmarks and doomed destinations is just the ticket to take armchair travelers with a taste for the macabre to places they never thought theyâ€™d visit in their wildest, scariest dreams.

The World of Lore series includes:
MONSTROUS CREATURES â€¢ WICKED MORTALS â€¢ DREADFUL PLACES
