6 posts | 3 read | 21 to read
What unspeakable horror glimpsed in the basement of a private library in West Yorkshire drove a man to madness and an early grave? What led to an underground echo chamber in a Manchester recording studio being sealed up for good? What creature walks the endless sands of Lancashire's Fleetwood Bay, and what connects it to an unmanned craft washed ashore in Port Elizabeth, nearly six thousand miles away?In 2009 Jeremy Dyson was contacted by a journalist wanting help bringing together accounts of true life ghost stories from across the British Isles.The Haunted Book chronicles the journey Dyson, formerly a hardened sceptic, went on to uncover the truth behind these tales.This is a signed hardback edition

This was a strange little book with different but very good creepy stories. These are loosely tied together through a sort of frame narrative which, however, towards the end kind of gets lost. Eventually things become very ‘meta‘. 4 out of 5 stars.

andrew61 That looks really good, i love the league of gentleman so can't wait to find it. 7y
Billypar I like your review: I have a feeling that someone finds a copy of a mysterious book called 'The Haunted Book' towards the end... I'm a sucker for that trope 😋 Love the cover art! 7y

I want a fireplace at home!!! It makes for such cosy reading in our holiday cottage on cold blustery nights like this one. Everyone else has gone to the pub while I‘m staying in with the kid who is already asleep. So time for a bit of quiet reading. Not sure this is the right book for being alone though. Might have to switch to something less creepy. 🤪🙈

Very interesting construction and a keen awareness of the power folkloric tales can have. It loses its way a bit in places, but never fails to keep you interested as if develops.
