I am newly interested in the 'spooky' side of life! and loved how this book held my attention by its short stories. It is beautifully written and weaves a lifelike portrait of it's subject (rather than just stating facts and figures). The spirits floating around the pages are brought to life by the authors and I am just hoping they will be commissioned to write a book about my area of the country. I eagerly await their next collection of stories. -
