Book Overview

"Abandoned places have always fascinated me. A place is warm, comfortable, inviting, filled with life-until it's not. We move on and leave behind a cold shell, decaying, lifeless, and dark. Haunted by memories. Haunted by stories. By secrets buried in dust."


For over 20 years, Michael Kleen has been visiting, photographing, and documenting places some say are better left unseen, unwanted, or erased. Many of the locations in this book no longer exist, except for these photographs. Join the author as he brings you on a journey to the not-so-distant past, to places begging for their stories to be told. Every sagging floor, dilapidated roof, and broken window tells the tale of a life rapidly fading from memory.
