"I have to admit I had
never heard of Palmyra Island before reading Rowlett’s book, The
Curse of Palmyra Island. It’s a small South Pacific atoll
which is shrouded in mystery much like the Bermuda Triangle. It has
a long history of strange events, supernatural occurrences, and
murder. [I]n this book Rowlett also covers the history of the island
along with a map and beautiful illustrations.
Rowlett cites a book called And The Sea
Will Tell which focuses on a sailing couple, Mac and Muff Graham, who
were killed in 1974 on the island by another couple who were inhabiting
it. Rowlett was later contacted by and given the chance to interview
a lady named Sharon Jordan who actually discovered the remains of Muff
Graham washed ashore on the island seven years later. Mac Graham’s
remains have still not been found to this day.
When I see things like this in the news, or
read of a murder in the newspaper, I’m always the one who questions
everything and usually suspects the most bizarre and unusual thing to have
happened. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Curt Rowlett’s
work because of my fascination with such stories. He is truly a well
versed student and expert of the supernatural and occult."

Review
"Palmyra,
a bucolic island with a creepy, bloody history. That
the murder of a monied boating couple by two scraggly hippies could be as
gripping as chapters on the Zodiac Killer and the Manson Family proves
that Rowlett knows how to spin a tale while fleshing out what's real,
what's possible, and what's been left unexplained."
