With destinations on each of the continents, and a wide variety of morbid reasons to make a trip, author Peter Hohenhaus has your next sinister vacation all mapped out for you. Though each of these locations reminds the traveller of horrible events in our past, Hohenhaus is also sure to remind the reader that in spite of all the death these destinations have host to, humans are still here, still persisting.
