Explore more than forty forsaken urban destinations around the world in a "highly entertaining read . . . for history buffs, mystery fanatics and travel junkies alike" (GoNomad).

Wander with care through:- Ancient and legendary places like Pompeii, Teotihuacà and Angkor
- Contemporary wonders like Centralia, a nearly abandoned Pennsylvania town consumed by unquenchable underground fire
- Eerie planned communities like Nova Citas de Kilamba in Angola, where housing, schools, and stores were built for 500,000 people who never came
- Epecuen, a tourist town in Argentina that was swallowed by water
