True Ghost Stories by J H Brennan

[lemming13]

I have to admit this is a personal favourite of mine, not so much because of the writing but because of a wonderful cassette recording I had of Richard O'Brien reading these tales with true pulp radio host style. The tales are allegedly all genuine hauntings, and include the Pluckley Ghosts, the William Terriss haunting of Covent Garden, and the Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. Great stuff for younger readers, and older ones too. I managed to get a set of MP3 recordings of the stories which I have been occasionally posting on Youtube (if I can be forgiven for betraying the written medium so far) on my channel www.youtube.com/user/Lemming013. If anyone has any information about a print edition I'd be grateful. I was contacted by Mr Brennan himself via Youtube, and he had actually forgotten writing them...

i note Fantastic Fiction list it as published in 1993, the same year HarperCollins published the audio edition, but i've a hunch this is another of FF's 'ghost' entries if you will, a book they've advertised which doesn't actually exist. We've had this with a few of their titles now: Peter Saxon's Blood Brother, Charles Birkin's Death Spawn ...

it's probably my overcomplicated browser settings but the link didn't take me to your channel. i got there using this one.

And this one leads direct to the True Ghost Story videos:

Richard O'Brien reads J H Brennan

i've just listened to Things That Go Bump In The Night and The Ultimate Comeback (i'm sure i've read of the haunting at Covent Garden tube station elsewhere, but in connection with subterranean zombies?). Can't fault Richard O'Brien for lack of enthusiasm, it's like listening to Hannibal Lecter reading 'A Book at Bedtime'. Thank you for putting us onto it.
