THE SECRET LIFE OF HIDDEN PLACES:
Concealed Rooms, Clandestine Passageways, and the Curious Minds That Made Them
Coming February 13, 2024 from Workman/Hachette
The Sunken Manor. The Labyrinth. The Gateway to Hell. This wondrous guide for the curious and the intrepid takes readers on a lushly photographed and lyrically written, tour of eighteen of the world’s most captivating architectural mysteries. Delve into both the secretive places themselves and the minds of the eccentrics and obsessives who created them. Visit a chamber of skulls high in the Swiss Alps, a Japanese temple full of traps, a Parisian apartment locked and untouched since World War II, a Prohibition-era speakeasy in Washington, DC, and a spooky “initiation” well in Portugal built by a secret society. How far down can you climb before losing your nerve?
