Safe Return Doubtful

Parnell’s book tells of his own journey through ghostly literature, and is in addition a memoir, a search on his part for a sort of spiritual consolation. He has a need to visit the places that have been the setting for the ghost stories that have been influential to him over the years, not to find solace or answers, but because there he finds some response to the psychological trauma he has suffered.
The book works well not only in this regard, but also in bringing the reader’s attention to stories we had long forgotten, or never even knew existed.
