Review:

 Paranormal Derbyshire and Haunted Pubs, Inns and Hotels of Derbyshire

‘As always with Amberley books, the production values are good and both volumes are well illustrated.  In addition to learning about Derbyshire’s paranormal aspects, the reader will come away knowing more about its history more generally.  Given the University of Derby’s increasingly prominent role in parapsychological researchthrough its Psychology of Paranormal Phenomena Research Group, it seems appropriate to celebrate the county’s spooky heritage, and these two complementary books do that well.’ www.spr.ac.uk/publication/paranormal-derbyshire-and-haunted-pubs-inns-and-hotels-derbyshire, June 2011
