The Ghost House Collection

About the author: Sarah Crabtree's work has been published globally. She was a prizewinner in a Hodder & Stoughton short story competition, and her work features in the Penguin Random House Writers' Academy publications. 'You are only an old ghost from the past, who managed to call herself up, and somehow you got caught in their machine's headlights.' From 'The Ghosts You Call Up', part of The Ghost House Collection In every house there is a ghost of something from the past: an indentation in the carpet; forgotten boxes in the basement; a few bricks in the garden left over from the old lodge knocked down to make way for the new estate. Look between the cracks. 'Smoke or mirrors. A trick of the light.' From the author of The Elfin Stone and other stories, a finalist in the Eyelands International Book Awards, comes this brand new collection of 22 stories that range from fabulous beasts in 13th century Sicily, to a haunting tale set in the English Civil War, to sinister goings-on in modern-day Central America. Elsewhere in The Ghost House Collection, a loner inherits a cottage on one remote island, while on another a group escapes lockdown only to find something more horrific waiting there for them: A world turned upside down.
