The first book in the new Haunted Handbook line within the popular America's Haunted Road Trip series, Cincinnati Haunted Handbook offers a plethora of eerie spots in the Queen City. Each of the places in Cincinnati Haunted Handbook is presented in a two-page spread that includes directions, a brief history, details about the paranormal activity, and advice on seeing it in person. Sites are organized into sections, including schoolhouses, roads and bridges, hotels and inns, and others. From the winding curves of the spooky Buffalo Ridge Road to the ghost of Music Hall, from the moans heard by the Miamitown bridge to the wispy form that flits through Spring Grove Cemetery, this book offers creepy hideaways that even Cincinnati natives don't know about. Equally suitable as a travel guide or as a diverting read for casual dipping, Cincinnati Haunted Handbook sorts out what creeps and crawls in the Ohio night.

Jeff and Michael Morris have been heavily involved with the paranormal field since 2005, when they started writing their first book, Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio. At around the same time, they started a ghost tour in Miamitown, Ohio, called Miamitown Ghost Tours, where patrons can experience the haunted history of this small town in Southwestern Ohio. Jeff and Michael also host an online paranormal radio show called Miamitown Ghost Talk on ASPRN.com, on which they have the opportunity to speak with big names in the field and to just speak about ghosts in general. They also do a lot of paranormal investigation themselves. While researching this book, they went out to all of these places in an attempt to find the spirits who reside there, and beyond these trips, they are members of Cincinnati Paranormal, a paranormal investigation group. Jeff has his degree in English from the haunted Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He lives in the Covedale suburb of Cincinnati with his wife and two children. Michael has a degree in graphic design and lives in Miamitown with his wife and their three children.
