A Year of Ghosts

A ghost story every day, for a year: chilling, weird, bittersweet, funny and horrific by turns.A Year Of Ghosts features 365 ghost stories, each one short enough to read with a hot drink but guaranteed to keep you thinking for a cold and moon-drenched night. There are haunting tales of grief and parting, romances of reconciliation and devotion, spine tingling encounters with supernatural danger and satirical romps through the afterlife, mixed with adventure, mystery and mythology. Journey to a haunted planet in the far future, to the ghosts of the Roman Coliseum, follow the machinations of Egyptian necromancers and the legacy of a haunted doll. You will read ghost stories adapted from pop songs, classic fiction and historical celebrities as well as low key tales of life in Lockdown Britain, the testimony of Somali immigrants, a northern pensioner teaching his grandson to be an exorcist and the love song of a Syrian refugee.There’s a Daily Ghost YouTube channel too with scores of the stories produced as 4-minute audio readings by voice artists and authors like Nancy Weitz and John Clewarth.The book lends itself to a casual reader who can dip into a story here or there, or treat themselves to a nightly chill. Most of the tales stand alone but there are serials running month to month and of course a season of Christmas ghost stories.“Every story packs in engaging characters and killer twists”David Paul Nixon, creator of the New Ghost Stories books & podcast“These tales are all short, sharp shocks, like the delicious nip of the vampire in the dead of night. Highly recommended”John Clewarth, author of People's Book Prize finalist, Firestorm Rising"Effective and unusual chills in a bite-sized format. If you love ghost stories, you should be reading The Daily Ghost."Jane Nightshade , author of The Drowning Game
