Ghost Stories of Venice Old & New

Added September 15th, 2008

The OTHER history of Venice by IPPY Award-winning Venice historian Kim Cool. This is the fifth in her series of Florida Ghost Stories and her second look at the ghosts of the Venice area. Some of the stories are continuations and/or updates of stories from Ghost Stories of Venice, although most are new ghosts who have been dying to be heard since Cool's first book of Florida-based ghost stories appeared in print.

Reviews

Kim Cool and I were destined to meet. I needed a guest for my first radio show in Sarasota, and my wife Maria and I drove to Barnes & Noble for inspiration. My wife found a copy of Kim's Ghost Stories of Sarasota and suggested I invite her on the show as my very first studio guest. We've been dear friends ever since, and I have the pleasure of reading all her fabulous books before anyone else, because I get to proofread them! This one's no exception and you can tell the ghosts are lining up to get Kim to tell their stories!

Join Kim and her friends as she takes us around Venice and South County, introducing us to even more inexplicable and fascinating occurrences! We stumble over ghosts in deserted hotels, meet a ghost dog and try to work out why a door just won't stay shut! We discover the Wild Man of Englewood, read of Kim's one-in-a-million encounter in a crowded plane, and shake our heads in wonder when Kim receives an e-mail one morning from a colleague who had passed on three weeks earlier! Enjoy yet another wonderful collection of fascinating ghost stories by Kim Cool, the writer the ghosts would hire as their publicist if they were alive…and who keeps their spirits up now that they're dead…or ARE THEY? — Cliff Roles, radio host of Talk of the Suncoast
