Ghosts and other supernatural guests (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781493637706)

Supernatural fiction's newest voice brings you a Gothic fest of twelve Poe-like tales from the darkest depths of the human psyche. P. J. Hodge spins rich, spine-chilling and beautifully written tales that tell of haunted ancestral homes, supernaturally-possessed objects and revengeful spectres that will not rest until their work is done. Mesmerising, understated, and convincingly Victorian in tone, this is a frighteningly good collection of stories. Purchase at your own risk! 'P. J. Hodge invites you to step outside your everyday world with tales that subtly entice you into a more liminal world, a world where the veils between physical measurable reality and the unexplained are drawn back to reveal unsettling truths and the inescapable terrors of the great beyond. 'The tales range from childhood adventures with a tragic twist (The Viaduct); the truly horrific spectre of The Flames of Stalbridge Manor; to the heartwarming A Tip of the Hat. This is a perfect book to read, by a crackling fire, in a lonely manor house, on a dark and stormy night - was that a tree-branch tapping on the window-pane..or could it be Ghosts and other Supernatural Guests........!' THE HAUNTED PALACE 'His style is very much in the tradition of the likes of Ambrose Bierce and M.R. James. So if you like that sort of fiction and the sort of ghostly short films that the BBC used to show at Christmas, you will certainly enjoy this volume.' SWEAT, TEARS AND DIGITAL INK
