Hauntings and mysteries frighten and fascinate us. They twist our imaginations; making shadows into spectres and the dark places in our homes into fearful hollows. Yet, for all of that, we cannot turn away from them. Perhaps this is because, at their heart, these stories are so very human. Death, fear, revenge, hate and love: these tales of terror bring to us all the facets of good drama set against an otherworldly mise-en-sc�ne.

Perfectly good farmhouses harbour mischievous poltergeists and snowy mountain ranges are home to baffling phantoms, while castles and country houses list royal apparitions and deformed monsters among their denizens. This is a land with more ghost stories than you can shake an EMF detector at.

With its revealingly deep research, this compendium of the ebook series, Eerie Britain, delves into twenty of the most intriguing and irresistible of these stories; stories that have been whispered for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years.

So, draw the curtains, cut yourself an extra large piece of that chocolate cake you've been saving for Aunt Maud (she doesn't deserve it anyway), ignite your pipe*, throw another log onto the fireplace and snuggle into the heavy folds of your warm blanket as our journey into the macabre begins...

*Pipe ignition optional. Reader provides own cake.
