Where Spirits Dwell

Author(s): Karina Machado

Ghosts & poltergeists

A captivating exploration of haunted-house stories from around Australia. It will unearth the creaking, spine-chilling moments when ghosts appear in suburbia. Karina Machado spins a web of wonder and often the interviewees' lives prove just as fascinating as the spooky experiences they're sharing. She will not only give us real-life experiences, Karina will also examine the haunted house in history, literature and popular culture through the book. Alongside infamous Australian haunted homes, like Junee's Monte Cristo Homestead and Annandale's haunted Abbey, Where Spirits Dwell will also take readers inside other haunted dwellings, including schools, pubs and even shopping centres. The local mall will never be the same again.
