The two friends talk about the various destinations, crimes, or hauntings that they found interesting and describe the history and story behind each place。 They tell enough to really get a feel for the story, crime, and place without going overboard。 The places deal with real crimes over a broad range of time。 Some crimes are turn of the century or earlier but others the criminal may still be in prison!Some of these criminal destinations have become haunted and other places are haunted from strange happenings through the past。 (If you believe in hauntings!)The two women are excellent storytellers and add humor throughout this book。 I enjoy books like this。 They don't get caught up on one story and drag on with it。 Each story gets a fair amount of time necessary and they moved on before I got bored。 I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for letting me listen to this story。 The authors narrated the story and they did an wonderful job! 。。。more

Each section is devoted to a region of the country, (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, etc。) and further sorted into specific locations where Em & Christine have had a show。Chapters begins with a blurb from each of them followed by storytelling of paranormal events。 These are truncated versions of their podcasts。 Happily, E & C have included links to their award winning podcasts via QR codes。 Also included are: wine & milkshake haunts and lists of haunted hotels, spooky places & other weird, (wtf), places。 Little offset boxes of fun facts appear thru out the text。Locations are highlighted all over the country, altho’ it’s a bit light on the northwest。 With the current gasoline cost issues, this book is a great way to find a fun and unique vacation experience that’s close to home, (or not), and as haunted, sinister, or dangerous as you want it to be。If that doesn’t work for ya, just read the book to find out just why they drink; you’ll be glad you did📚 。。。more

I received an advanced version of the audiobook from the publisher, and this is my honest review。 Though I typically love an audiobook, this one was lacking。 It's hard to listen to a list, and the very beginning and very end of this book is just that--lists of places the authors loved or visited。 I think I would've preferred to read in its paperback form, but even then, I found the content to be similar to listening to a podcast in book form。 Not great。 I love a good true crime story, and have e I received an advanced version of the audiobook from the publisher, and this is my honest review。 Though I typically love an audiobook, this one was lacking。 It's hard to listen to a list, and the very beginning and very end of this book is just that--lists of places the authors loved or visited。 I think I would've preferred to read in its paperback form, but even then, I found the content to be similar to listening to a podcast in book form。 Not great。 I love a good true crime story, and have even read other podcasters' books in the past, which left me excited to read this one as well。 Unfortunately, the constant reminder to "find out more in podcast episode X," was frustrating and made me wonder why the authors chose to write a book in the first place。 I wish the editor(s) would've helped them craft something that felt new and different than the podcast they listen to frequently。 。。。more

I was instantly curious because of the blurb on the book。 Pack up your ouija board, wine bra, and squirt guns of holy water we're going on a road trip。 That was exactly the vibe this book gave。 It was filled with horrible places some of which were true crime spots, but it was done in a lighthearted way without being disrespectful to the people affected by these places。 The physical copy has illustrations so I do recommend getting that as a companion to this audiobook。 I wish I was able to see pi I was instantly curious because of the blurb on the book。 Pack up your ouija board, wine bra, and squirt guns of holy water we're going on a road trip。 That was exactly the vibe this book gave。 It was filled with horrible places some of which were true crime spots, but it was done in a lighthearted way without being disrespectful to the people affected by these places。 The physical copy has illustrations so I do recommend getting that as a companion to this audiobook。 I wish I was able to see pictures of the places。 Especially since I plan to revisit the book while planning road trips。 Every city gets its own chapter including a paranormal place and true crime story。 They also included lists of other places to go。 I cannot wait to check out some of the places in the book。5 stars。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc of A Haunted Road Atlas by Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz。Come on an adventure through the continental United States(plus Hawaii) as Shiefer and Schulz tell you ghost stories and true crime tales in each of the states that is mentioned。This was a great book but needed to be consumed in small chunks。 Each story was it's own piece and going from story to story wasn't as much fun as it would be to be looking through this as a true atlas。 I thin Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc of A Haunted Road Atlas by Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz。Come on an adventure through the continental United States(plus Hawaii) as Shiefer and Schulz tell you ghost stories and true crime tales in each of the states that is mentioned。This was a great book but needed to be consumed in small chunks。 Each story was it's own piece and going from story to story wasn't as much fun as it would be to be looking through this as a true atlas。 I think it would make a great coffee table book or, if you are a huge fan of true crime, a way to plan some vacations。I appreciated the lists of hotels and drink place recommendations。 This gives lots of great ideas of where to visit。 I also really love the fact that there is a QR code attached to each story that links you to the podcast(s) that mention these ghost or true crime stories so that you can get more information。 If you are wanting an indepth look at certain stories than this is not the book but as an overview to choose something to look into or a way to plan some fun trips that may or may not be haunted I think this is a great book to have in your collection。 5 stars。 。。。more

Really enjoyed the audio version of this book that was gifted to me by NetGalley! So much so that I will be buying the physical copy when it is out! The hosts of the podcast And That’s Why We Drink take you around the country to discuss landmarks, history, murders, mysteries, and, of course, the paranormal。 The pacing was engaging and entertaining。 Will be recommending to my friends!

I’m not always hip on books that start out as a podcast but this has proven to be the exception。 I like the format which keeps the listener engaged and wanting to move forward。 Each location starts out with “hey this is the city we were in and this is what happened to us while there”。 Then it tells something paranormal that takes place in and around the city and then a true crime。 Sometimes these true crimes were big events like HM homes in Chicago, or the Black Dahlia in California。 Other times I’m not always hip on books that start out as a podcast but this has proven to be the exception。 I like the format which keeps the listener engaged and wanting to move forward。 Each location starts out with “hey this is the city we were in and this is what happened to us while there”。 Then it tells something paranormal that takes place in and around the city and then a true crime。 Sometimes these true crimes were big events like HM homes in Chicago, or the Black Dahlia in California。 Other times the stories are little known things that happened in these local areas。 Then it finished each section with interesting facts about the location and which podcast has more information。 Overall the formula really worked for me。 Some of the locales I already knew about because I had lived in and around there, like Joliet prison, but I didn’t know about the prison in Alton (that’s no longer there) when they talked about St。 Louis。 So there’s something for everybody。 This book is very well done and well I’m not a podcast listener, they’ve made a new fan and I’m going to be checking it out and so should you。 。。。more

I'm definitely going to plan future vacations around their tips。 I'm personally going to pick up a physical copy of this one to check out the maps and images (and an I Spy Bingo board!)。This is a good resource for anyone who's a fan of spooky things, not just fans of their podcast。 There are a few inside jokes referenced that may be a bit confusing to people not familiar with the podcast。 Head's up that they reference Zak Baggins and the Ghost Adventures tv series a lot in this book, so if you're not a fan of him you might want to skip this one。CW: descriptions of violence and true crime, description of hauntingsSpecial thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for providing an audio galley of this book for me to review。 All opinions contained herein are my own。 A Haunted Road Atlas: Sinister Stops, Dangerous Destinations, and True Crime Tales releases on May 31st, 2022。 。。。more

Not sure this works the best as an audio book。 At least for some of the (what I'm guessing) lists。 Also, the back and forth narrators would be fine for a podcast but it came off as distracting。 So, for me, I wasn't a fan if the audio version of this book。 However, I'm guessing, fans of "this is why we drink" would probably enjoy it。 Not sure this works the best as an audio book。 At least for some of the (what I'm guessing) lists。 Also, the back and forth narrators would be fine for a podcast but it came off as distracting。 So, for me, I wasn't a fan if the audio version of this book。 However, I'm guessing, fans of "this is why we drink" would probably enjoy it。 。。。more

Fun! I have never listened to the And That’s Why We Drink podcast, but this makes me want to give it a shot。 I must admit that I was dubious about listening to a travel guide in an audio book format, but it was mostly enjoyable。 Things felt a little awkward at times (such as the section headings and segues), but on the whole, it works well。 It’s essentially a pastiche of true crime stories, haunted tales, fun facts, and essential places to visit for some of the authors’ favorite places。 The tone Fun!

A Haunted。 Road Atlas was the cats meow。 I'm a huge fan of true crime and all that is haunted。 This book gave some fabulous accounts on both。 The audio book was terrific and narrated by the authors giving it a truly authentic feel。 I do feel the physical book would be even more fun because I assume it comes with visuals。 For any fan of haunted places in America, this book is definitely for you!

4。5Reading this book was so much fun。 I enjoyed the format very much。 I loved how in each state there was a true crime and paranormal story。 I’m not a fan of paranormal tales but some of the stories were creepy。 I deducted a star because I wish they added photos of some of the people from the crime stories。 I googled way too many names which took time away from my reading。

I really liked this book。 I have listen to a few episodes of their podcast and this book gave me the same vibes。 It was truly an interesting read (read all in one day)。 I liked how the book was divided in different sections depending on the area of the country they had visited。 If anyone is into spooky stuff or has listen to crime podcast then this is a must read!

I really enjoyed this audiobook。 Although I have not listened to their podcast I still found the content relatable and entertaining。 I really liked the layout of the book with each City having its own chapter。 Within this chapter, the authors selected true crime and paranormal tales that related to the respective City。 A great audiobook to listen to while commuting if you enjoy all things spooky。

This book though, I thought that this is the perfect travel guide to all paranormal and true crime haunts across the country。 They break this down by different cities in the US and maj EM!! CHRISTINE!! Y’all did it again! I am a huge fan of theirs and their podcast! And That’s Why We Drink has gotten me through a lot of rough times in my life。 Listening to them talk about paranormal and true crime things is the best! Highly recommend their podcast。I am so thankful to have received a review copy! This book though, I thought that this is the perfect travel guide to all paranormal and true crime haunts across the country。 They break this down by different cities in the US and major haunts and cases that happened there。 They also tell you which episode they spoke of this topic so you can listen to them go more in-depth if you would like! I also enjoyed at the end there was a whole recommendation section for each city! So you had locations you can check out if you go to those cities! I will 100% be purchasing this when it comes out!! This audiobook gives you the same atmosphere of listening to the podcast and I felt like that was comforting in hearing Em and Christine narrate this themselves。 While this was more “professional” than the podcast I still greatly enjoyed it! I would highly recommend the audiobook if you are a fan of the podcast, yet I also believe this would be a PERFECT coffee table book to have in your house!!5 stars!!!! 。。。more
