'A brilliantly eclectic mix of dark, unsettling tales' Joanne Burn, author of The Bone Hunters

'Inspired by all the great ghost story writers' BBC Open Book Editor's Pick

'Tis the season to be haunting

An unexpected and unwelcome voice on the world’s first radio broadcast in 1908. A son who won’t stop messaging his family on Facebook, although he’s been dead for quite some time now. A frozen forest in a far north land where the sinister elf-kin lurk in the snow.

A Scottish island where the locals make very sure their old folk don’t go hungry through the long winter.

Over the past two decades Adam Macqueen has sent a Haunted Tale to his family in place of a Christmas card. A collection in the grand tradition of ghost stories – to be read by the fire in the depths of winter – it proves that terror lurks in many places, and the dead take on infinite guises . . .
