Book excerpt: A volume for readers who appreciate ghost stories with a twist, where the past looms large, and the old gods lurk in unexpected places. Within you will find nine supernatural tales spanning the ages from the ninth century to the present day. Some are of a darkly humorous and satirical nature, whereas others are possessed of a rather more sinister, and disturbing, hue. The characters whom you will encounter include: bumptious academics; a crass gold-digger; a wistful ex-diplomat; an ambitious Victorian surveyor; a rapacious Norman lord; a garrulous Yorkshirewoman who likes to lend an unwelcome 'helping hand'; and families looking to get away from it all, and wishing that they hadn't. Best read by the winter fireside accompanied by a glass of port, or a full-bodied red. Not recommended for those of an overly sensitive disposition.
