I enjoyed this collection of ghost stories. Seeing the different aspects of Glacier through a haunted lens was a very interesting take. And hearing the travelogue bits weren't that horrible either. But I wish the author might have had more of a balance. It’s hard to really call this a ghost story book when it sometimes reads as an advertisement for Glacier and its many attractions. Not that there’s a problem with Glacier; I adore the park. But I would have enjoyed the ghost stuff better if it would have had more focus.

But what was there was fascinating. I can just imagine being one of these winter caretakers, knowing you’re the only individual that could possibly be in this huge hotel complex (being snowed in and such) and finding a fresh cup of coffee or an empty wine bottle in the middle of a hallway and know you didn't put it there… Or to here footsteps or a door slam in the same circumstances? Yeah, freaky much! And the author does a fantastic job of making those scenarios very immediate.

All told, a solid collection of supernatural happenings in one of the most beautiful locales I've ever personally been to. I definitely shivered more than once. If only more time was spent on those shiver worthy moments and less on describing how wonderful this attraction is or how great that hotel was…… (mere)
