Snowfall

by Shane Brown

After a messy divorce played out in the public eye, Amanda Wallace MP and her twin teenaged sons move into a cottage in the country the week before Christmas. At first, all seems perfect, from the peace and quiet through to the deer that visits the garden each day. But then the family starts to get awakened each night by the sound of singing, and it soon becomes clear that the cottage harbours dark secrets.

Snowfall, a novella, is the fifth volume in the Ghost Stories for Christmas series. Also included is a bonus short story, The Curse.
