Haunted Liverpool

Haunted Liverpool is an ongoing series of highly popular books written by Tom Slemen, which as of 2008 comprises 16 books. The books deal with various aspects of paranormal phenomena, such as ghosts, UFOs and aliens, as well as investigating the mysteries and folklore linked to his home town of Liverpool, England. The first volume was written and published in 1996, and quickly became Liverpool's best-selling local book, with four reprints within six months. In 2005, Slemen announced that "Haunted Liverpool 10" would be the last in the series, but due to public demand Slemen chose to continue the series. Characters found within the Haunted Liverpool books include Spring Heeled Jack, a leprechaun named Tarney, Richard Tilly the lecherous self-resurrecting Satanist, who is buried on Bidston Hill, Alaric Romaine the mystical detective, Bezzera the Wizard of the Calderstones, who foresaw John Lennon's global fame, Sir Peter Robinson - a bogus teenaged Lord, and Boz, a repentant demon who has escaped from Hell.Tom Slemen has several columns in newspapers such as the Liverpool Echo, Ellesmere Port Pioneer, Taxi Talk and Prediction Magazine, and readers of these publications contact Tom with many tales of a paranormal nature.
