“Before we proceed, I must tell you that countless people have died in this cave and many believe it to be haunted. Having said that, are there any of you unwilling to continue?”

 

“Paul Jay Steward’s latest book, True Tales of Terror in the Caves of the World, could provide the above disclaimer for many of the worlds most notorious caves and be well justified in doing so. Mr. Steward deals in facts, which makes these chilling accounts all the more disturbing. His book takes you around the globe and deep into the passageways of time to bring you mystery, murder, war stories, catastrophes, the arcane, and shadowy world history. The author’s obvious caving experience adds detailed credibility to his documentary style. Whether you are a contemporary caver, an armchair spelunker, or just casually interested in the macabre, you will enjoy this tour of the mystifying world beneath your own feet.”
