Review Quotes
A concise look at places both familiar and not. Gibbs has the Sixth Sense . . . [and he] recounts recent activities and his brushes with the occult world with a narrative style that's easy to visualize.
-- (05/07/2017)A well-told ghost story is always a treat, and Ian Gibbs is a master storyteller. Ian's debut collection is a terrific addition to the ghost story genre; clearly the paranormal is in this man's blood. Victoria's Most Haunted is chock full of spooky, thought-provoking tales that take the reader on a tour through time and place to a side of Victoria known by few, offering us a glimpse of the city just beyond the veil. Ranging from poignant to downright scary, these accounts will cast your perspective of staid old Victoria in an entirely new light.
-- (02/01/2017)Victoria BC is often referred to as 'charming' or 'idyllic' with its breathtaking ocean views and beautiful gardens, but after spending a bit of time with Ian Gibbs readers will be adding 'chilling' and 'haunted' to that list of descriptions. Victoria's Most Haunted is an unsettling tour of the capital city and even you are not a believer in the paranormal you will likely find yourself peering over your shoulder next time you wander through Fan Tan Alley, Pioneer Square or any of the other landmarks with an overlooked grisly past.
