In a Dark Place is based on the events of the Snedeker family's alleged encounter with the paranormal. Garton has, however, noted that he doesn't like this book, and is glad it is out of print, saying: "The family involved, which was going through some serious problems like alcoholism and drug addiction, could not keep their story straight, and I became very frustrated; it's hard writing a non-fiction book when all the people involved are telling you different stories." Garton appeared on MonsterTalk episode "A Connecticut Haunting in a Keen Author's Court" released in August 2011 discussing the book/haunting, calling the book "the low point of [his] career" and refuting any claims that it is non-fiction.
Reception to Garton's work has been mixed to positive, with his books receiving positive reviews from Dread Central and Rocky Mountain News.
