Ghost Writers: 20 spooky tales for dark evenings

As you flit through these pages, you will begin to wonder if you are ever truly alone: there are unexplicable presences in bedrooms, extra passengers on buses; even your own car isn't safe. There are spectres who haunt either to hinder or to help, phantoms invited back by the living and those the living had best avoid. As the web of words is woven, you will see swirling mists, smell rancid water, hear the pitter-patter of tiny, long-dead feet, taste revenge and feel the chill of loss, despair and terror. While some tales are scary, others are sad and a few just plain funny, but all authors have risen to the challenge of conjuring up a riveting range of souls stranded in that haunting hinterland between life and death - with a myriad of mixed motives. So dip in and prepare to shiver, laugh or even cry, but remember it's all in a good cause. Proceeds from this book will be shared between The Association of Carers: Young Carers and Hastings Writers'Group.
