This is a tour of the dark side of Niagara Falls--a book that penetrates the mists shrouding a national icon to reveal grim secrets and forgotten horrors. Suicides, murderers, star-crossed lovers, heroes, villains, madmen, and a demon out of the mythic past come together in this gripping collection of tales. If you"re looking for Marilyn Monroe or the Love Canal, you won"t find them here. You will find mystery, terror, and death. Beware: this is not a tour for the squeamish. Journeys to the Brink of Doom contains dozens of maps, illustrations, and rare photographs.
