John Connolly’s latest novel, A Book Of Bones, features some terrifically chilling settings. In it, dead bodies turn up in various places all across England, from an ancient church on a lonely moor to the site of a 1,000-year-old tree.

All of the spooky locations in the book are real. Connolly is an author who absolutely has to visit the places he writes about. Which means he went driving around England with research books in the back of his car, stopping at many fascinating sites.
