The Angry Ghost and Other Stories

About this ebook
A collection of spooky ghost stories and dark tales based on
the classic style of horror/supernatural writing, The Angry Ghost and Other Storiesintroduces a return to classic form with a fresh perspective. A man journeying
to Cornwall seeking a Ghost - and flowers, an obnoxious bully being welcomed to
spend the evening at an old museum, and an author of fictional horror unable to
take his friend seriously when he’s told of the Werewolf roaming around his
village are just three of a collection that will have you reading with every
light on.
The stories have a chilling undertone, a sense of unease
without outright horror which is matched by its cast of characters that run the
gamut from the ordinary to the undead. These characters share the same fate, a
confrontation with something unearthly and should not exist - that is, except
in a world where creatures of darkness can still, occasionally, break through.
The book also features a mix of voices, from first person to third, and from
past to present tense which keeps the pace fast, exciting and varied. With
descriptive language, the tales bring with them an atmosphere not easily
shrugged off.
“Ultimately, the
storyteller weaves his tale of dark possibilities to coax out and into the
light creatures that may occasionally intrude upon the living, but never
encroach upon or breach the shield of safety of the listener. For the listener
is always safe from ghosts…almost always.”
