Just in time for Halloween, The Last Bookstore is pleased to welcome author James T. Bartlett, who is armed with poison, guns, jealousy, despair, serial killers, scandals and ghost stories in his new book Gourmet Ghosts 2. If you’re a fan of L.A.’s dark criminal history and the ghostly spirits that haunt this city – or just want advice on the best places to drink with the devil – this second guide to haunted bars, hotels and restaurants is worth investigating. James will be in conversation with paranormal fan and blogger Eric Larkin of our very own blog Dwarf + Giant. They’ll discuss deadly surprises – including the stunning suicide at the Hollywood Bowl, the scandal of the Alaskan Beauty, the Poisoned Peach, the Rose Murder and other weird and unbelievable moments – which he uncovered while bar-hopping and diving through the Hearst/LA Times archives. If there’s time, James may share the secret of the ghost that haunts the Last Bookstore building!
