Have you ever watched any of those Urban Exploration videos online or maybe even considered exploring an abandoned place on your own? I have watched a few and often thought it might be exciting to join in but the story Urbex cured me of that desire. Sometimes abandoned places are best left to decay in peace. John Richter's writing is smooth and expressive, making me feel as if I did not merely read these stories but experienced them.
I received a complimentary copy for review.
