Ghostwriting is six short stories about encounters with ghosts. When it comes to the supernatural, Harding knows her stuff and no one does it quite like her. The stories aren’t especially scary, well to me they’re not, but I loved every one of them. I found them all to be plausible, to the point where I wonder if each of them might have actually happened. I also like the introduction to each story which told us a little bit about the author, but also about the muses that inspired the stories. The book is suitable for readers over fifteen years and I highly recommend it.

I’m not normally very interested in ghost stories. Even growing up, at sleep overs, I always found them a little boring. So it was a pleasant surprise to find a collection of short ghost stories which I actually enjoyed. Better yet to find a collection that makes me question my preconceptions about the world that I live in and how I am able to influence my reality.

Harding is always a purveyor of the power of thought weaves this through her tales so neatly that it is only after you read the last word that you realise the potency of her esoteric views. The happy endings and reminder of our own power to influence our lives gives a nice, complete feeling of power when you finish this collection. A welcome one that helps to highlight the supernatural aspects of the stories which are imparted throughout the collection.

One of the things that I loved the most about this collection of short stories was the introduction to each tale. All of the short stories were dedicated to one of the amazing women in Harding’s life and her explanation of how they have helped her on her own esoteric and writing journey. This made the stories feel immensely more personal, and the leads far more real.

13/2 - This book renewed my interest in ghost stories, so much in fact that it has prompted me to add a number of ghost stories to my personal list of 1001 books to read before I die, including all the books that Traci listed as her references. I also really enjoyed knowing that Traci is from Sydney and still lives in Sydney, even after national if not international success.

WOW! Can't recommend this enough - however you might not want to read this by yourself at night with only a lamp on... some bits are scary! Packed with short stories that are sure to make your toes curl and hair stand on end, Ghostwriting is a fun way to spend a weekend.

I fell in love with some of these stories very much. They were something I want to re read.
