Great book for the Halloween season and beyond

"The stories of haunted places across the United States are really interesting and the photographs accompanying them are nice. The recipes to go along with the stories all look delicious. I haven't tried one yet, but can't wait to do so."

— Cheryl D. (5/5)

Never received and No help from Company to fix

"Pic of delivery can barely make out the area so I can not look in the neighborhood. Never received, had to send a bunch of texts to get a text back that just stated it shows delivered. Didn't even try to make a suggestion of making it right or anything. Terrible customer service there. Unfortunately left a horrible taste in my mouth for rhe company. Will be making a video to post on social platforms to let others know my "review" of the company (can't review. Oops I never got) as well as post bbb report. Too bad because I was really looking forward to ordering several other items that caught my eye."

LOVE IT!!!

"This is a great book. I have enjoyed reading it and making some of the recipes. The only thing is I think I was sold a USED book because when it arrived there were grease stains on the front and on the page that Lizzy Bordens Meat Loaf recipe is on. I would recommend this book it is awesome."
