From the dustjacket:

Few events are greater cause for celebration than the publication of Charles Addams' first collection of new cartoons since The Groaning Board in 1964 (My Crowd, 1970, was an anthology of old Addams classics). It has been a long time for Addams fanatics to wait, and their well-thumbed copies of Addams and Evil, Monster Rally, Homebodies, Night Crawlers, Black Maria, Drawn and Quartered and The Groaning Board must be falling apart by now.

Once again the Addams paradox is in full flower—here are cartoons that chill the spine while they lighten the heart. The range of Charles Addams' diabolical humor is wider than ever before, for Favorite Haunts doesn't concentrate so completely upon the sinister family as did the previous books, but wanders far and wide to other creaking mansions, graveyards, three-inch-high people in interesting circumstances, and a number of jolly backgrounds such as the river Styx.

As in the past, practically all of the cartoons appeared originally in The New Yorker magazine, but have never been published in a Charles Addams book before.
