Big Derek fan - By: Horror Fan of Nottingham, 10 Jan 2008 
I was given is book for christmas 2006 & I had read it by Boxing day. It contains short ghost stories, nearly all have been visited by the Most Haunted or Ghost town team. A lovely stocking filler & a enjoyable read
A Throbbing Pinnacle of Pulsating Purple Prose - By: TheMysticMinge, 02 Jul 2007 
Our Degsie's most recent epistle to the Believers is a deeply penetrating search into Britain's most hidden places. When it comes to investigating the paranormal no one goesin harder (and more often) than Mr Derek Acorah. Nestlingin the densely brisling thicket of parapsychological literature this book is a towering pinnacle of throbbing purple prose. Thrusting into the darkness of the unknown, again & again, Mr Acorah's slick explorations of the netherworlds lift the reader into an ectasy of understanding. As he binds & casts the willful demons to the outer reaches & sternly admonishes unwilling spirits to seek the light, your spirits will soar as a climax of enlightenment breaks upon the beaches of your soul!
This was good for me!
Same Book, Different Title!! - By: A. Bird, 28 Oct 2006 I am quite surprised to see this "new" book advertised. 'Haunted Britain & Ireland' is EXACTLY the same book as Derek's 'Haunted Britain' but with an extended title. Nothing new here, the book's back cover read up is even the same. If you already have 'Haunted Britain' don't buy this.
More than a little dissapointed - By: Peter Rayburn, 31 Aug 2006 
Well not much here. I do admit that this is a welcome break from the 'look at me, look how good i am' books that psychics tend to write but unfortuneatly this book is nothing more than a collection of phone calls to haunted locations without a visit from mr achorah. I visited one pubin Wales mentionedin the book & the landlandy said the research was nothing more than a phone call from a lady researching for this book, she even said it was though she had written the chapter. I need & expect more than this, more than I could get free from the internet when I buy a book. I'm sure mr. achorah or his ghost writer can do better. Let's hope so for the next installment.
A little disappointed - By: S. E. Hendry, 20 Apr 2006 
Having looked foreward to a new book by our Derek, I found this one rather disappointing.
It basically does what is says on the cover, introduces the reader to 100 of Britains scariest places & also contains helpul hints on ghost hunting. But it lacks a certain joi de vivre that his other biographical novels havein bucket loads. It's basically a history book, with a line for each location about what haunts where & why. Now as a sceptic I have to ask, why does a spiritualist medium feel the need to research the most haunted areasin Britain some of which he hasn't even visited. To be honest I would have preferred to read about places he has visited & what he picked up personally. As we know from previous novels, Derek has a wonderfully natural narrative.
Allin all, interesting historically, but non challenging & rather safe. Theres not a lorra Derekin this book.
