    About this ebook

    The seemingly passive Sarah lives with her sister and brother-in-law – and a ghostly entity that smashes china, spills milk, and writes messages on the walls. Is the rectory really haunted, or is there more to Sarah than meets the eye?

    A short story of 2,800 words, SUMMER is a ghostly tale in which nothing is quite what it seems.
