Written by tour guide Andrea Janes, BOROUGHS OF THE DEAD  is a collection of ten ghostly stories that range from the waning days of the 18th Century to the present time, mixing in a bit of historical fact, a hearty measure of local color, and plenty of honest-to-goodness creepiness.

Imbued with the chilling undertone that inhabits all of New York’s five boroughs, BOROUGHS OF THE DEAD  is an entertaining, varied and infectious take on things that go bump in the New York City nights.
