Haunted Histories: Creepy Castles, Dark Dungeons, and Powerful Palaces (Family Comics Friday)

Though the narrator and his pet raven is fictitious, the haunted histories are real- for the most part. There are some ghost stories and the whole biz about ghosts being real is up for debate. But, the tales of crazed rulers, creepy castles, and methods of medieval torture are quite real. It's also wicked fun.

Some subject matter isn’t appropriate for kids under the age of 12. But, it’s a really interesting look at history told in a way that makes kids like to learn. Just like Grossology or Schoolhouse Rocks, I’m all for educational media that makes learning fun, even if the stuff in this book is more for a junior Hannibal Lector that fodder for the kid what wants to be president when they grow up. 

What’s more, it’s written by a college professor, just don’t tell your kids that!

Worth Consuming.
