β¦ Synopsis
The stories in this haunting collection are as ancient and recent, powerful and fantastical, real and imaginary as the ghosts they feature. Here you will find chilling tales of a pond that fills with blood on Lammas Eve; a plague coach careering down a remote country lane; lost tombs in the forest; hovering skulls and something unnamable lurking in Southampton sewer, all brought to life by noted storyteller Michael O'Leary. Illustrated with original drawings, these spooky tales are perfect for reading under the covers on dark, stormy nights.
