Suffolk Ghost Tales
Suffolk – a peaceful, rural county with big skies, rolling fi elds, unspoilt beaches, quaint towns and villages. But all is not as quiet as it seems. Could that be the eerie clanking of gibbet chains at the crossroads? Did you see a desolate face at an upper window or a spectral white form lurking in the hedgerow? Cats are not always lucky – and beware a north Suffolk Broad in the still, small hours of Midsummer Night . . . Kirsty Hartsiotis and Cherry Wilkinson retell, with spine-chilling freshness, thirty fabulous ghost tales from all corners of this beguiling county. So pull up a chair, stoke the fire and prepare to see its gentle landscape in a new light.

I'm a sucker for a good ghost tale, especially ones that are based on tales of real life people. I bought this book in a gift shop on a family trip to Sutton Hoo, and I'm so glad that I did, because I really enjoyed it. This is a great collection of ghost tales from the Suffolk area, and I think the thing that made this book most enjoyable for me is that being from Suffolk myself, I recognised a lot of the places within the stories, and I even knew a couple of the tales included in the book already just from growing up here.
I love the way that the authors have written the tales, some of which are almost like flashbacks. It made them so much more fun to read. A particular favourite of mine was The Ghosts of Landguard Fort. This one is especially chilling. Despite living very close by, I've never actually visited Landguard Fort, but it's certainly somewhere I plan to visit now, along with many of the other places within the tales in this book.
This book is filled with eeriness, and a creepy feeling that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Seeing the beautiful county of Suffolk in such a haunting light was something that I truly delighted in. It also includes some lovely little illustrations too.
