From the author of The New England Grimpendium comes a new travelogue and insiderâs guide to wicked, weird, wonderful New York. When J. W. Ockerâs first book, The New England Grimpendium, emerged on the scene, Max Weinstein of Fangoria.com called it âa travelogue for those who revel in the glory of their nightmares.â Rick Broussard at New Hampshire Magazine said of it, âIâve read a dozen books about New England ghosties and weirdnesses, and this one is my favorite. Itâs also one of the few that actually came up with stuff I didnât already know about.â Now the author of that Lowell Thomas Award winner has unearthed hundreds of similarly creepy and colorful places in the Empire State that will make your skin crawl and your hair stand on end! Ockerâs essays on these places, some little known, some area landmarks, include directions and site information along with entertaining anecdotes delivered in his signature wry style. Itâs definitely a wild ride from a jar full of the harvested brains of dead killers to horror movie filming sites around the state; from a shipsâ graveyard to lake monster sightings. If itâs in New York and itâs bizarrely noteworthy or wonderfully wacky, youâll find it in The New York Grimpendium.
