For fans of Neil Gaiman and Welcome to Night Vale, Aaron Mahnke's The World of Lore (based on the popular LORE podcast) explores the chilling truth behind the legendary creatures, peculiar people and horrific places that arouse our deepest fears. For you see, sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction...

Captivating stories of the places where humanity's evil has left a nefarious mark - featuring both rare and best-loved stories from the hit podcast Lore

Sometimes you walk into a room, a building, or even a town, and you feel it. Something seems off - an atmosphere that leaves you oddly unsettled, with a sense of lingering darkness. Join Aaron Mahnke as he explores some of these dreadful places and the history that haunts them.

Mahnke takes us to Colorado and the palatial Stanley Hotel, where wealthy guests enjoyed views of the Rocky Mountains at the turn of the twentieth century - and where, decades later, a restless author would awaken from a nightmare, inspired to write one of the most revered horror novels of all time. Mahnke also crosses land and sea to visit frightful sites - from New Orleans to Richmond, Virginia, to the brooding, ancient castles of England - each with its own echoes of horrible tragedies and dark deeds still resounding.

Filled with evocative illustrations, this eerie tour of lurid landmarks is just the ticket to take armchair travellers with a taste for the macabre to places they never thought they'd visit in their wildest, scariest dreams...
