Reviews

A terrific work and much needed

—— Michael Morpurgo, internationally renowned author of over a hundred books

Having worked with Margrit Coates, I can vouch for her healing ability. Her gift to animal healing is enormous

—— Nick Thompson, VetMFHom, MRCVS, consultant for Horse and Horse and Rider magazines

I am honoured and inspired to be one of the first to read this important book, and recommend it wholeheartedly to others

—— Linda Kohanov

A highly enjoyable (and disturbing work) ... I am in awe of [Clarke's] intrepidity

—— Guardian

Outstanding ... Clarke's dissection of the shocks, sadnesses and sexiness of the seance tables from the late Victorian era is brilliantly done ... The book is deeply enjoyable, hugely informative and at times distinctly unsettling

—— Shade Point

Britain has over 500-years' worth of ghost stories in the cupboard and in The Natural History of Ghosts, Roger Clarke makes them dance ... the most original and readable book exploring our ghost-rich culture to appear for years ... fascinating

—— Fortean Times

Clarke's examination of the need people have to believe remains insightful and illuminating throughout

—— Observer

An intriguing, shivers-down-the-spine book

—— The Lady

Lively and absorbing ... [Clarke] has proven himself an ideal guide to this troubled and disorderly realm

—— Literary Review

A fascinating social history ... exceptionally well written and researched

—— Starburst Magazine

Why do ghosts wear clothes? This is just one of a number of interesting questions raised by this jaunty book ... In a series of short, snappy chapters, Clarke examines the evidence for just about every ghost who ever drew, or withdrew, breath ... but A Natural History of Ghosts is also haunted by another story, lurking not very far beneath: the story of the author's childhood need to believe in ghosts, and the gradual erosion of that belief

—— Craig Brown , Daily Mail

A gripping history that traces the scientific and social aspects of ghostly sightings

—— Telegraph

Compelling ... Research into the paranormal necessarily involves a fair degree of debunking, and Clarke is careful to be sceptical. The narrative of ghost-hunting is simultaneously a history and exposure of fraud and popular delusion ... [yet] Clarke retains a boyish and ... well-informed enthusiasm for his subject

—— Independent

[A] voyage through the half-lit world of lost souls ... tales told with ghoulish relish

—— Telegraph
