Sixteen Ghost Stories

Sixteen intriguing ghost stories in which eight old friends meet to tell strange and haunting tales from their lives. While these subtle ghost stories are more thoughtful than violent, they often bring the past into the present with a short sharp shock. Ranging from the Baltic Sea to the Sudan and from 17th century London to Tibet, these stories within stories blend history and crime with the emphasis always on the characters and the lives that they lead. The stories describe a range of well-documented but puzzling and troubling visitations in which the worst can often happen in bright sunlight.
