About the author
Anthony Poulton-Smith is a British author of local paranormal and history titles, including Paranormal Cotswolds (Amberley Publishing, 2009) and Haunted Worcestershire (History Press, 2009). Both books follow an A-Z format covering reputedly haunted sites in their respective regions, combining accounts of well-known hauntings with lesser-known local stories and, where possible, background on the places involved. Poulton-Smith's approach favors regional coverage and accessible, story-driven writing over academic investigation, placing his books within the popular county-by-county ghost-story genre published widely in the UK. His books will suit readers with an interest in the folklore and history of specific English counties as much as those simply looking for ghost stories.
