    Ghosteria Series

    By Tanith Lee

    About this series

    Sometimes when people die, it comes as a great shock. Even to them…

    A group of the dead linger here, in the yellow dwelling on the hill – once a castle, then a stately home, now falling into ruin.

    These ghosts drift and mingle, and brood on their lost lives. Death can be caused by so many things – war, pandemics, ordinary murder – even suicide or accident. Even time. But after death, surely, one could hope for peace? Not any more.

    For with 2020 the New Apocalypse began. Civilisation crashed, and outside this ancient building things terrible, predatory, mindless and unkillable roam and bellow.

    Now all the lights have gone out for good –

    Where do you turn?

      In this new collection, which contains most of the ghost stories of Tanith Lee – including 4 new tales original to this volume – Lee slips freely through the full gamut of Fantasy, SF, Horror, Historical, Parallel and Contemporary genres. The themes range, amongst others, with a lost love in early 20th Century New Zealand, a bullied child in 1970’s India, into the underhill palace of a brooding magician in search of wonders, among the guests of a modern spiky wedding-breakfast, and beside a psychic, on a far planet whose damson skies are adrift with flying whales... The moods conjured are dark, unnerving or plain nasty; or else sad, tender, kind and - now and then – outright crazy. Turn up the light. And don’t look behind you.
