![]() ![]() To the long-suffering members of my family who remember being dragged through the Haunted Mansion ride countless times, it was no surprise that when I decided to write a book series, each book would be centered around my favorite subject: haunted houses. And there is no better emotion than fear to induce this reaction. ![]() As human beings, we thrive on the dopamine hit following an adrenaline rush. Apparently there is a science behind this desire to be scared. Judging from the countless books, movies, and small screen offerings currently available, I’m not alone. That alone is enough to give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it’s the knowledge of the number of people who’ve lived-and possibly died-in the house since it was built. There is just something about an old house that is inherently spooky. Just like in the ghost books I read, I knew that none of spooky characters or eerie effects were real even though I wished they were-all from the safety of my reading chair or the confines of the “Doom Buggy” of the ride. ![]() I’ve been obsessed with haunted houses ever since I can remember, and even before my first trip to Disney World at age eight when I insisted we visit the Haunted Mansion attraction at least twice each day. ![]()
