In the isolated town of Pine Ridge, historian Michael Harris stumbles upon an ancient, cursed book in the attic of his grandfather’s abandoned mansion. What begins as a simple curiosity soon spirals into a nightmarish obsession. The book, bound in blackened leather and inscribed with sinister markings, holds the key to unimaginable horrors — and a dark entity eager to break free. As Michael delves deeper into the book's forbidden secrets, he awakens Ar’gul, an ancient demon bound within its pages. Vivid nightmares plague his sleep, shadows move in the corners of his vision, and the boundary between reality and madness begins to blur. Every word he reads pulls him further into Ar’gul’s sinister world, where power and destruction await. But with each passing day, the cost of survival grows ever steeper. With the help of his friend, archaeologist Dr. Laura Martin, Michael must confront the terrifying truth of the book's origins before it consumes him completely — or worse, releases the demon into the world. Gripping, atmospheric, and filled with chilling suspense, The Forbidden Tome will haunt your thoughts long after the final page. Will you dare to open the book and face what lurks within?

In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.
