Hauntings: nine spooky stories written by an award-winning, expert story-teller.
Stories written to haunt, ‘to be poignant and evocative, persistently and disturbingly present.’
Praise for HAUNTINGS
‘Susan Price understands well that the ghost story form may be used to move readers and question their prejudices about the nature of appearance, as well as to frighten delightfully. She never settles for cheap effects and writes beautifully of relationships between young and old.’ The Daily Telegraph.
‘This collection… has a depth of emotion that is at times disturbing.’ Magpie, 1998
A ghostly boy stands in a dark farm-yard, staring at the lit windows of the farmhouse kitchen.
An old man, living alone in a farmhouse surrounded by modern estates, sees spirits dancing on an ancient hillside.
A bullied schoolgirl finds a protector – at a price.
A writer listens to the telling of a dream – and can’t sleep easily after.
A poltergeist joins a couple in their home…
An elderly couple are woken nightly by the return of their young neighbour – who was murdered. Yet still she comes home late…
An ancient wood emerges from the lamposts and walls of a city…
And a spiritual medium is exposed as a trickster.
Hauntings…
