Weird Belfast is a fabulous book.. -- Colin Carberry Hot Press Author Reggie Chamberlain-King has unearthed a fascinating collection of strange tales from 200 years of Belfast history. -- Christopher Woodhouse Sunday Life ... a fascinating look at the strange and forgotten stories of Belfast. These are the tales that don't get told around the dinner table, the scandals and shockers of a forgotten era that, when looked at in the modern age, frequently seem baffling. But in the most intriguing way. -- Steven Rainey The Big List
