This is the model cemetery guidebook. It’s generously illustrated by Hucke’s black-and-white photos. Hucke was the impresario behind Graveyards. com, which unfortunately hasn’t been updated in over a year. I'm also author of 199 Cemeteries to See Before You Die and Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel, as well as a space opera trilogy. I'm co-author of a series about a succubus and her angel.
