Story4 out of 5 stars 28
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.

Inextricably linked with the fatwa called against its author in the wake of the novel’s publication, The Satanic Verses is, beyond that, a rich showcase for Salman Rushdie’s comic sensibilities, cultural observations, and unparalleled mastery of language. The book begins with two Indians plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their airliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.

Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. Every nine years, the house's residents - an odd brother and sister - extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late....

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 540
Alan Moore channels both the ecstatic visions of William Blake and the theoretical physics of Albert Einstein through the hardscrabble streets and alleys of his hometown of Northampton, UK. In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England's Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap housing projects. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district's narrative, among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a different kind of human time is happening.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 204
Florence Lovelady's career was made when she convicted coffin-maker Larry Grassbrook of a series of child murders 30 years ago in a small village in Lancashire. Like something out of a nightmare, the victims were buried alive. Florence was able to solve the mystery and get a confession out of Larry before more children were murdered, and he spent the rest of his life in prison. But now, decades later, he's dead, and events from the past start to repeat themselves. When her own son goes missing under similar circumstances, the case not only gets reopened...it gets personal.

More Weird Gems
This is the second book in the Tales of the Weird series. Author Tom Slemen has more unusual tales to thrill, delight and chill you. These tales come from around the world, unlike the Haunted Liverpool series. Truth is often stranger than fiction, this book helps to reinforce that. The tales were fascinating as usual. I read this book using immersion reading. R k Meyer does a decent job with the narration, but his dry reading lacks the emotion this book needs. I prefer the wonderful Nigel Peever, who handles accents so well. This type of book should be narrated by a Brit.

If Art Bell made you feel skeptical, this will make you feel insulted
At what point does fanciful stop being entertaining? The author sets out to find this threshold, then dives far, far beneath it. Even worse is the narrator's grade school "Read for emphasis, Bobby" style. Emphasizing every fourth word confounds the listener's attempts to make sense of each sentence. Worth noting is that the author is also the publisher. No doubt the editor as well.
