Hauntings

by Hannah Kate (Editor), Rachel Halsall (Contributor), Brandy Schillace (Contributor)

Twenty-one new tales of the uncanny. A memory, a spectre, a feeling of regret, a sense of déjà vu, ghosts, machines, something you can’t quite put your finger on, a dark double, the long shadow of illness, your past, a nation’s past, your doppelgänger, a place, a song, a half-remembered rhyme, guilt, trauma, doubt, a shape at the corner of your eye, the future, the dead, the undead, the living, a grey cat, a black dog, a ticking clock, someone you used to know, someone you used to be.

We are all haunted.

Reviews

[Cameron Trost · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderfully atmospheric anthology of haunted tales from a visionary independent publisher based in Manchester. Many of the tales are set in the north of England, and this setting, along with a style that is perhaps typical of this neck of the woods, intensifies the eeriness of the anthology. Beautiful prose and descriptions accompanied by dreamlike ambiguity make this offering so touching, so very haunting.
