What happens when we stop just visiting dark places—and start listening to them?

From Auschwitz to Alcatraz, Ground Zero to the Paris Catacombs, Beyond the Darkness reveals the emotional force of dark tourism—and how confronting the trauma of history can help us find healing, resilience, and meaning in our lives today.

With a foreword by Dr. Philip Stone, Director of the Institute for Dark Tourism Research, this powerful blend of travel memoir, trauma recovery guide, and reflective narrative follows #1 Amazon bestselling author Dr. Chad Scott as he journeys through illness, loss, and profound personal transformation.
