Do ghosts exist, do supernatural beings walk the land and do
creatures linger in the shadows. Are legends of blood-sucking
creatures based on some truth found on the edges of reality? Within
these pages Tony Locke will take you on a journey through the
magical land of Erin. You will explore castles and graveyards, and
be introduced to banshees, warlocks, spectres, poltergeists and the
Undead. You will read about the spirit of a child that possesses a
doll, the vengeful druid who guards a tomb and the ghost of a
cannibal woman who enjoyed eating children. Based on the myths and
legends of Ireland, these tales have been collected and retold by
professional storyteller Tony Locke. So why not pull up a chair and
sit awhile? You know you’re never too old for a story.

Over ninety public houses and hotels are featured in this book.
There is a brief overview of each one, giving type of inn and the
fare on offer. Every inn has a story to tell. Some were patronised
by royalty, others were smugglers dens or the local 'pick-up
joint'! Some were caught up in the civil wars of the 1600s, others
were a venue for an illicit romance. A few have even been involved
in a murder. Above all, in every one of these hostelries, at one
time or another, a ghost has made its presence felt.

Beneath California's scenic landscape lies a strange and dark side,
full of spine-tingling tales and frightful imagery. Creepy
California: Strange and Gothic Tales from the Golden State explores
the disturbing and macabre stories of unexplained deaths,
intentional live burials, true crimes, and ghosts who haunt the
Pacific Coast. This spooky collection includes the extraordinarily
odd, like the account of a coroner, who "borrowed" the stylish
clothes of one dead man and even sold the corpse's head to a doctor
for scientific research, and the paranormal, like the tale of a
haunted, two-story house in San Francisco that was moved across
town in an effort to dislodge its ghostly tenants. The attempt
failed, and the San Francisco Chronicle commented that "the
neighborhood has been kept in a constant dread and torment by
unearthly groans, mysterious lights, and agonized shrieks emanating
from their dread habitation." An intriguing and frightful look at
the disturbing side of the state, Creepy California promises to
send chills down your spine and keep you looking over your
shoulder.
