This is a FUN read! It is NOT a list of Dark Rides or dry boring statistics, it was written for EVERYBODY. It IS the 'soul' of what these rides are all about from their portable beginnings in Carnivals to today's big Theme Parks. It's NOT a How-To but more a Why-To, a chemistry if you will of what we do when we choose to get scared for fun. Not just for ride geeks either, because as it turns out...
Even most die hard Theme Park fans don't know the whole story... because it had never been told till this little book turned the lights on!

With side trips to Disneyland, Coney Island Sideshows, the Live Spook Shows that were all the rage in theaters of the 40's & 50's and even old Drive-In Horror Movies. It's a very personal Tour with an insider perspective, from a keen observer of what Entertainment In The Dark is really all about.

A Few Of The Great Reviews:

Top WDI (Disneyland) Imagineer, Tony Baxter says: "What can I say but thanks so much...made me think about my best experiences with dark rides!"

Haunted Attraction Magazine : "...a gem of a book! Imagine a chat on the porch with a favorite uncle, you learn some simple truths. Terrific stuff!"

Columnist for MiceAge.com, KEVIN YEE writes: "I read it right away! It's a fun book, a great read for anyone even mildly interested in dark rides."

Bennet Yellin (Screen Writer "Dumb And Dumber"): "...a perfectly delightful tome by some madman all about dark rides, you oughta read it. It's hysterical & entertaining. Higley's witty personality virtually bursts out of the pages, I felt like I was hanging out with an old dear friend (well not that old). A treat!"

Author, Artist, Photographer, former Radio/TV Broadcaster, Museum Curator and Magician, Doug Higley lives just 62.7 miles south of Disneyland, where he is often mistaken for Gepetto. While not a Historian or compiler of lists & facts, he does have the knack for writing about what really matters...the Chemistry of what makes fun in the dark FUN, Mysteries Mysterious and an Adventure Fast paced!

Note: 'Scary Dark Rides' and 'Out Of The Dust' and 'Museum: Mysteria, make the PERFECT
reading material for your next Air Trip! The print is large and clear and you'll probably be able to finsh the book before you land, so you'll actually accomplish something on your flight! Round trip? Get 'em all!
