Haunted Liverpool 18

It is always an event when Tom publishes a new book and this one is definitely no exception. In this chilling volume of more than 30 chapters - with many chapters containing more than one story - you will meet the Faceless Bride of Lime Street and you will also be introduced to Anfield’s unknown ghostly woman before visiting the creepy establishment known as The Devil’s Arms, where everything is just too good to be true. You will not find the usual hackneyed stories of supernatural cliché in this volume.

This book - which put Liverpool on the paranormal map - is about ghosts - whatever they are. Every culture has believed in ghosts at one time or another: Buddha trained himself to overcome fear by sitting in a haunted cemetery. Spooky tales are not just a contemporary phenomenon - there are several ghosts mentioned in the Old Testament. In the course of a person's lifetime, the chances of encountering a ghost are surprisingly high.

Welcome to the third volume of Tales from the Weird by one of England's top cult writers on the supernatural - Tom Slemen. In this disturbing but thought-provoking book, you will hear about real-life paranormal nightmares set in places ranging from Liverpool to Los Angeles, Alaska to Australia, and New York to New Brighton.

Grab your coat and let Mr. Tom Slemen - Liverpool's legendary ghost hunter - take you on the town to embark on a haunted pub crawl of the gutter drinking dens and high-brow establishments....

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.

Thirty-one strange, but true tales to make your flesh creep, to intrigue you, and to give you sleepless nights - all from the pen of Tom Slemen, one of England's top writers and researchers of all things supernatural. Amongst the 31 tales, you will hear about the bizarre, but terrifying creature who terrorised people in Victorian times in Liverpool's Pellew Street. What was he? Man, beast, or some freak of nature hybrid?

Welcome to Tom Slemen's Tales of the Weird, a journey into the chilling sphere of the supernatural where you will encounter, vampires, werewolves, and even the Devil himself.... Here are just some of the things you will hear about in Tales of the Weird: A centuries-old demonic royal rapist.... A happily-married woman who became possessed by three strange personalities - including that of a nymphomaniac.... The terrifying power of the Evil Eye, which could be upon you at this moment....

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.

Whether writing about the ancient Egyptian vampiress, Sekhmet, or Black Tom the highwayman turned vampire who terrorised the county of Dorset for over three hundred years, Tom Slemen has the unerring ability to seek out tales of the paranormal and retell them with chilling lucidity. If you are genuinely interested in vampires, and are not of a nervous disposition, listen to this book!

If you're new to the works of Tom Slemen - Liverpool's most popular author - and don't know where to start, may I recommend A Tom Slemen Selection to whet your appetite? Listen to the story about the mystical vagrant who foretold a Liverpool schoolboy that he would one day become the most famous person in the world - and this prophecy did indeed come to pass. And listen to the story about such strange and perplexing beings as the Seven Whistlers, whose eerie music foretells a tragedy; plus many more.

There are the usual mundane books about regurgitated mysteries, and there are books such as Strange Mysteries which boldly delve into the more offbeat mysteries of history, as well as mysteries of crime, space, and time. Within this amazing collection of 65 mysteries you will read of the mysterious Zodiac Killer who terrorized the West Coast of the United States in the 1960s - who was he? Could a new scientific breakthrough finally unmask Zodiac?

Ghosts, ghouls, witches, spectres, demons, the Grim Reaper, vampires, leprechauns, the Devil, as well as a host of other supernatural beings - along with the odd unsolved murder thrown in for good measure – all to be found within the pages of this unique first volume of Tom Slemen's work. Thirty-six stories that will haunt your mind and delight your dark side, all from the pen of one of England's greatest writers on the supernatural – Tom Slemen.

The world is not what we think it is. The individuals whose experiences you are about to hear know that only too well, since nothing in their lives had prepared them for their encounters with things that are not supposed to happen - but did! Events like these remain hidden because those they happen to are afraid to speak out of a natural reluctance to have their sincerity or sanity questioned. Societies define their own realities and those who challenge them do so at their own peril. The moral seems to be that where these kinds of events are concerned, ignorance is the best policy. 

In this compelling study of true crime, Liverpool's most popular author Tom Slemen recounts some of the most intriguing and baffling murders of Merseyside. This fascinating book is a must for all readers of true crime in general and Liverpudlians and Merseysiders in particular.

Strange Liverpool is Tom Slemen's fascinating book documenting the bizarre-but-true stories about his hometown that are not found in most local history books.
