Book: The Last Days Of Cleveland


Carrying on with the theme for the season, I do want to mention that John Stark Bellamy II put out a SIXTH volume in his series of books about crime and disaster in Cleveland some time ago. These books are very strange reads for anyone from northern Ohio. As I have mentioned, I spent a decade in the area, and it is just weird reading these stories, and thinking about the areas where they happened. It is surreal reading about true crimes and disturbing events that happened in an place you have been.

I keep thinking about the quote concerning truth being stranger than fiction, and Bellamy again does a great job of finding stories that prove that. This is not a work of fiction, nor is it a book about ghosts. These are true tales that are dark.

Pick up this volume, or any of the other books by Bellamy. I can't say enough about how interesting these books are.
