Emma Vernon's Northminster Ghost Stories
An evil face in the pattern of a napkin. An ornament that foretells disaster. Something monstrous at the end of the pier. These and other Victorian horrors are presented by Emma Vernon, wife of the famous Northminster detective, Major Giles Vernon, with a foreword by Harriet Smart.
At Wolsington Castle, follow tutor Rufus Longley as he unravels the deadly mysteries of the castle’s recent history. Listen at the Connecting Door for what strangeness lies behind. Visit the Old Manse where John Lockwood and his wife struggle to understand the reverberations of the past. Heed the Household Goddess, and whatever you do – do not eat the Bride Cake, for the sake of all you love.
Emma Vernon’s Northminster Ghost Stories contains thirteen supernatural tales – some short, some long – that bring to life a cast of characters and their emotional highs and lows in the spirit of the acclaimed Northminster Mysteries.

Not bad
There are some quite good stories in this collection, and one of two are really quite spooky! Yes I know ghost stories are meant to be scary, but I usually find them rather silly. These are certainly some of the better ones.
