'Researched with seriousness, and written with evident delight. Roger Clarke ... tackles everything from the troubled roots of Methodism to haunted toys that command premiums on eBay. He also tells a few cracking ghost stories ... [The book is] beautifully written ... lithe, complicated and hugely rewarding' James McConnachie, Sunday Times
'This splendid book ... [is] a compelling read ... Clarke manages to give goose-flesh and a giggle while informing the reader - an enviable feat' Scotsman
'A highly enjoyable (and disturbing work) ... I am in awe of [Clarke's] intrepidity' Guardian
'Oustanding ... Those of us who have spent years fascinated by the fiction of the supernatural ... will be in love with Clarke's book from the very first page ... deeply enjoyable, hugely informative and at times distinctly unsettling' Shade Point
