A big hat-tip to the Arthur C Clarke/John Fairley & Simon Welfare "Mysterious World" trilogy (based on their TV series) but the winner is the "Usborne Guide to the Supernatural World." Influential to this day.
I've still got it, and it often finds its way to the surface among other spooky items.

Here's a splendid spooky book that your children will want to read - and so will you!
Grab a copy of @dannyrobins.bsky.social & Ellen Walker's "Do You Believe in Ghosts?" for a brilliant introduction to the supernatural.
It's the book I'd have read as a child alongside the Usborne Guide!

A recent trip to Scarborough gave me the chance to check out both of the town's ghost walks.
The Black Widow Tour and The Scarborough Ghost Walk are both excellent and presented in quite different styles so are happily unique too, even when the stories told cross over.
I recommend them both!

Amazing work by @thelightdreams.bsky.social, John Collier and photos from Richard Leaver in this brilliant visual guide to the classic Blackpool Doctor Who exhibition.
So atmospheric to be able to explore through the years on the pages of the book - recommended whether you ever visited or not!
