A spirited collection of fourteen ghosts and hauntings from the back-catalogue of writer, Jan Edwards, with introduction by Shadow Publishing editor David Sutton.
These tales of lonely ghosts and vengeful spirits cover the range of human emotion; from war and soul harvesters, through unrequited love, to ghostly go-betweens. Chilling tales that will keep you turning pages right to the very end. Includes the BFS award short-listed ‘Otterburn’, plus a previously unpublished tale!

“All adeptly told, often with a sense of locale and time neatly placed within the narratives. Her family history informs and inspires some of her stories. Folklore figures as a focus in more than one story, whether urban myth or historical lore. But ghostly they are and deceptively disturbing.”
