The books, and there are many of them have been written by Tom Slemen and were often serialised in the local newspaper the Merseymart where they were the highlight of the paper. Tom Slemen’s books are incredibly popular in Liverpool and lovers of these books can now sit back and hear these spine chilling stories in a live interactive way and in a very unique setting.

Jen Heyes said “I have adapted some of Tom’s most haunting Liverpool stories and together with a strong cast have brought them to life in the highly theatrical setting of Liverpool’s iconic St Georges Concert Room”.

The first readings of Tales from Haunted Liverpool will be performed by local favourites Eithne Browne (Brick-up the Mersey Tunnels, Tartuffe and Brookside) Brian Dodd (Blood Wedding, Wall Talks and 08 Peoples Opening) and Stephen Fletcher (Stags and Hens, Erics and Hamlet).

Tom Slemen has written 9 books of ‘Haunted Liverpool’ all of which contains many spine tingling tales of Liverpool past and present, these books have regularly been number 1 in the Liverpool bestselling book charts.  Tom Slemen also has very popular columns in the Liverpool Echo and Lifestyle Monthly magazines and has released a new book of Wirral haunted tales.

Built in the 1840s, St. George’s Hall is widely regarded as one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and is a Grade I listed building. The opulent refurbished Concert Room has been a long standing favourite for readings, including Charles Dickens himself who gave so many readings from the stage and regarded it as a perfect venue.
