Tales to Haunt Your imagination…

Ghosts gay and straight, living and dead, haunt the pages of this spellbinding collection of tales set in five different locales and time periods. Victorian London is the background for “The Gravedigger’s Daughter,” a novella-length thriller about an impoverished young woman forced into the ghoulish life of a grave robber. In “Uncle Jack,” the nephew of a 1950s film star inherits his dead uncle’s house in Beverly Hills and comes to realize that he is not the only one laying claim to the estate. A restoration project on a 500-year-old manor in Provence draws the title character in “Michael’s St. Michael” into a terrifying encounter with a violent and unquiet past. In “The Selfie of Doralynne Gray,” a selfie-obsessed woman is taken hostage by her own image. And when a homophobic teenager destroys his gay neighbor’s cherished collection of garden gnomes, he learns to his horror that the gnomes in “Gnome Man’s Land” are not the gentle creatures everyone thinks they are. Filled with shocking surprises and brimming with page-turning suspense, these five genre-busting tales give new life to the old saying, “There’s nothing more fun than a good ghost story.”
