Why read it?

2 authors picked Spirits of the Cage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I will read absolutely anything that Richard Estep writes. He has written books about the Villisca Ax Murders, Malvern Manor, and other crazy-haunted places. This one, about a site in his native England, is utterly terrifying. Estep writes with a very straightforward, matter-of-fact style (his writing reminds me much of my own style), and the evidence he presents for this haunted site is deeply chilling -- especially since his team is one of the groups that has investigated the Cage. 

From Sylvia's list on for paranormal enthusiasts.

Richard Estep is a well-regarded paranormal investigator, who generously writes about some of his fascinating cases so the rest of us can enjoy them too. Reading this book – preferably with all the lights on – is a great way to vicariously experience the investigation of a British historical site ... a site that happens to be viciously haunted.
