Dogtown: Death and Enchantment in a New England Ghost Town | Elyssa East

I posted about this one a couple years ago...

Dogtown is a #GhostTown outside of Boston. It‘s now a wooded area where people walk & enjoy nature, while viewing the few remaining pieces of evidence of the town. It was also the scene of a grizzly murder. A woman walking her dog was brutally attacked & killed. East writes a compelling book, half history of Dogtown and half true crime. It has a low Litsy rating, but I liked this one! #Movember #NFNov

Crazeedi Sounds spooky!! 5y

Cinfhen Sounds interesting to me!!! I‘m frustrated by the Litsy rating system 😡 5y

DGRachel @Librarybelle @Cinfhen Yes, the Litsy rating system is trash. I try to scroll and see if anyone I know has read the book and see their responses, rather than look at the overall Litsy percentage. 5y

@FantasyChick
I am so sorry for your loss, I know how devastating it is.
I accidentally took this picture while juggling my phone and walking my dog - The Bug

My dogs apparently decided it was better to cram into one bed and sleep on top of each other than to enjoy their space. #dogsoflitsy

LeahBergen Aww! ❤️ 7y

I read this nonfiction book years ago. Dogtown was a village in the US Revolutionary War. The village didn't have the best reputation and fell on hard times. In the 1980s, a woman who lived nearby, was murdered by a local man, while on her daily walk. East weaves history with modern day to present a desolate, backwoods ghost town, with plenty of stories to tell. #backwoodsbodycount #hallowreads

Kaye This sounds like a creepy place. Wouldn‘t you like to see it sometime ? 7y

Librarybelle @Kaye I would! It's in Massachusetts, so not terribly far from me. If you do a search, you'll find photos and videos people have taken of the area. 7y

Kaye Yea, I think I looked them up,once after reading this. Wasn‘t this the place with all the big carved rocks with the sayings on them? I can‘t remember a lot about it, but just remember those huge carved rocks and how spooky those woods sounded. Isn‘t it a No Trespassing area now or am I thinking of someplace else? 7y

Mdargusch Ha! As soon as I saw this I thought of you @Kaye. But of course you've already read it. 😀 7y

Librarybelle @Kaye I think it does have carved rocks. It could be a No Trespass area, though so many of the locals used the area as a walking path, if I recall. It's been quite some time since I read it - think I read it when it first came out. Maybe parts of it are No Trespass?? 7y

Kaye @Mdargusch Yea, that‘s the problem when I‘ve read for so many years and read lots of true crime, there‘s not nearly as big a selection of that as in fiction. Lots of cases have more than one book about the same case too.. that‘s why I get excited when I find one I haven‘t heard of before. 🙂 (edited) 7y

AmyG @Kaye Yes...I have read so many, I feel I've read all the best ones. And I, too, think of you when I see true crime. 😜 7y

Kaye Thanks 😆 @AmyG. Is it just me or do you think the older true crimes were better ? Maybe it‘s just that it was easier to find them. 7y

Mdargusch They were such huge best sellers back in the day @Kaye and @AmyG like In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter. I had to read every Bugliosi! 7y

AmyG @Kaye...it's not you. I do think the older true crime is better. @Mdargusch Yes. I would find an author and read true crime books by that author. Helter Skelter will always be my favorite. (edited) 7y
