Reviews
Terrific - every bit as good as an MR James collection
A must for fans of The Haunting Season. Prepare to be spooked.--SUNDAY EXPRESS
An eerily macabre, hauntingly propulsive collection of ghostly tales
I absolutely devoured The Winter Spirits - every story is a gem. This collection will form part of my Christmas reading tradition.
There are ghosts, monsters and things that go bump in the night in this cracking collection of supernatural stories . . . creepy and atmospheric--DAILY MIRROR
This deliciously eerie follow-up to the bestselling ghost story collection The Haunting Season is the perfect bedfellow for these cold winter nights.--WOMAN & HOME
This is another dazzling collection which bridges the gap between tradition and new writing quite brilliantly. Each author's voice is eerily distinct in stories that range from playful melancholy to outright terror. It's a wonderful anthology: chilling, moving, tremendously satisfying, and a joy to read.
