Summary

For fans of Neil Gaiman and Welcome to Night Vale, Aaron Mahnke's The World of Lore (based on the popular LORE podcast) explores the chilling truth behind the legendary creatures, peculiar people and horrific places that arouse our deepest fears. For you see, sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction...

Volume 3: Dreadful Places

Humans have an uncanny ability to leave their indelible mark. Homes can sometimes reflect the characteristics of their occupants and even cities become more and more like living beings after a century or two. So, it's logical to assume that darker deeds, horrible tragedies, and the worst of human nature all might leave a nefarious taint on some of these places.

This third book in The World of Lore series will explore dark and dreadful places on land and at sea, places haunted by tragedy and filled with echo es of evil. These are the stories about cities, and buildings, too, from New Orleans to Louisiana and Richmond, Virginia, as well as infamous places like the Stanley Hotel in Colorado and England's most frightening and brooding castles.

Great in short listens

I loved all 3 volumes of this set but for me it was much more enjoyable listening to 20-30 mins at a time while I was getting ready for work or preparing our evening meal otherwise it can sound very “samey”.

Yet again brilliance

As an avid fan of the podcasts Lore' and a cabinet of curiosities I always hate waiting for the next eppisode to come out. With the lore books no longer do I have to wait for my fix.
The stories and narration are first class.
All I want to know now is when is the next book due out?!
