    About this ebook

    This wonderful new collection of ghost stories, including the 15 winning entries in a competition run by Saga Magazine and one vintage example from the master of the genre, M. R. James, ranges from classic tales of antiquarians and Victorian psychic researchers to homely yet chilling stories of the present day. Set in locations that include a Scottish castle, World War One trenches, the Caribbean and a City firm of accountants, there is something here for everyone.

      Spellcheck

      Whose history I do not know. I do know I’ve been e-upbraided for my fast and loose spelling of Woden, the god whose last worshipper must have slipped under the sod during the medieval period, somewhere in the 10th century—imagine those bog-soaked des
