Story
In Haunted Liverpool 34, cult author Tom Slemen documents some strange beings, including faceless terrors, moving statues, real-life vampires, shape-shifting entities, and time-slips. In this audiobook, you will not listen to the usual lame and hackneyed worn-out stories of ghosts; you will listen to original stories concerning the Lost House of Sefton Park, the terrifying visitor to a 24-hour supermarket in the wee small hours who spread terror among the staff with the macabre contents of his holdall.

Story
Running parallel to the conventional history of Liverpool ... there is an unseen seam of supernatural stories that have been largely ignored by the strait-laced historians,' says Torn Slemen, who is, of course, fascinated by this other history and no subject matter is too strange or too terrifying to merit his scrutiny. While some stories may prove to be nothing more than urban myths, many turn out to be only too spine-chillingly true.

Story
The book includes haunting ghost stories from Scotland. In this section we touch upon phantom soldiers, ghostly lovers, mist-shrouded kilted apparitions, murderous ministers, and even a disappearing bank in a time slip. We have kept away from previously published or documented stories which is why you will not hear about Tam O'Shanter by Burns or the ghost from Shakespeare's Scottish play.

Story
It's 24 December 1999. Byron Easy, a poverty-stricken poet, half-cut and suicidal, sits on a stationary train at King's Cross waiting to depart. He has in his lap a bin-liner containing his remaining worldly goods - an empty bottle of red wine, a few books, a handful of crumpled banknotes. As the journey commences he conjures memories of the recent past, of his rollercoaster London life, and, most distressingly, of Mandy - his half-Spanish, Amazonian wife - in an attempt to make sense of his predicament.

Summary
Beasts, Banshees, and Bogeymen...
The Red Fiend of Bold Street, The Black Elves of Bloody Acre, The Old Man in the Carpet, Strange Creatures from the Bootle Caverns, and the sinister legend of the Devil's Bridge in Mossley Hill where, it is alleged, John Lennon sold his soul in return for 20 years of global fame and undreamt-of fortune...just some of the tales in this phenomenal book by Liverpool's most popular writer - Tom Slemen. Beasts, Banshees, and Bogeymen is just further proof that Tom Slemen is the unrivalled master storyteller of the supernatural; many have tried to copy his style, but all have failed.

Great Book of Paranormal Characters
Tom Slemen is a wonderful crafter of Stories and really brings the people and events alive. This is the second book of his I have read and have enjoyed them both. He does extensive research and these tales are reportedly true. Some are thrilling, some head scratching, some chilling and some are unbelievable. A must read anyway. If you are on the fence, take the plunge, this book is very entertaining. My favorite tale? The reported deal that John Lennon supposedly made. Read this book to find out and judge for yourself, I won't spill the beans here.
