The first update in fourteen years of one of Lake Claremont Press's top sellers ever, the second edition of Graveyards of Chicago has all new photography, almost twice as many photos (300+), almost twice as many pages (400+), includes footnotes (almost 500), and contains QR codes for each cemetery leading to additional photos and bonus material.


"This is a great book, both visually and historically, and worth its purchase price.  Well researched and beautifully photographed, this is a most special book that reflects the importance of cemeteries in the past and present." - Crabigail Cassidy

Long distance travels, lengthy investigations, sleepless nights, shady hotels, and of course chance encounters with the unknown.  And that's just the half of it...

"When academics look back on this era of interest in the paranormal, this book will no doubt be heavily dog eared and cited as source material." - M. Kleen
