Reviews
"Patrick Whitehurst's Haunted Monterey County is a must read for anyone planning a trip to the Central Coast of California. Part travelogue, part paranormal mysteries, it gives the reader a unique perspective on one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
Whitehurst has seamlessly woven the supernatural with the storied history of the Central Coast, and the rich cast of characters that tamed the wild country, and called Monterey their home.
I've learned more about how politics, commerce, and Manifest Destiny defined the growth of Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove, Castroville, Salinas and Big Sur. Add the folkloric ghost stories to the mix, and Patrick Whitehurst's Haunted Monterey County is a compelling read." John Lansing, bestselling author of the Jack Bertolino Series
