When Darkness Falls: Tales of San Antonio Ghosts and Hauntings

Rating:
Summary: It is a wonderful book
Review: I not only have read this book but have also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Williams and hearing her speak at a luncheon, if you have never had the pleasure, let me assure you she can keep you enthralled and on the edge of your seat with her stories and mannerisms. She is a wonderful story teller and I highly recommend that you read her book. I just wish her tour schedule of downtown San Antonio was more publicized so that i could get tickets.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This book is one to tell at a slumber party, and when you are done tell them that the story is non-fiction. It went into so much detail. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!

Summary: Okay for the stories. But it could have been better written.
Review: This book was interesting to me because I love ghost stories, especially when they involve places that I'm familiar with. I'm planning on visiting some of the places in the book. However, I had a few problems with it. I did not like the way many of the Bed and Breakfast stories read like a commercial. Please don't try to sell me on the place, just tell me the ghost story. I especially hated the plugs at the end of the story that even gave the number to call for reservations.

I also dislike the way the author wasted space by telling us the trail she followed to get to her source. "First I called so-and-so but he didn't know anything and told me to call so-and-so who didn't know anything either but he told me to call so-and-so.... etc" I don't care how many people you had to call to get your story as long as you tell me who you finally ended up talking to. Part of being a reporter means calling lots of people but you don't include everyone you called along the way.

One more thing I disliked was her frequent mention of her first book. I don't like being told to go buy another book if I want a full story. Either give me the whole story or don't mention it at all.
