Eight Ghosts

Eight Ghosts features eight authors who were granted exclusive access to their chosen English Heritage site, ranging from medieval castles to a Cold War nuclear bunker. Immersed in historical atmospheres and chilled by rumours of hauntings, they channelled their imaginations into a series of extraordinary new ghost stories.

Following these tales by the contemporary writers, there is a section by Andrew Martin on ghost stories and the sites that inspired them. Additionally, the book includes accounts of strange happenings and sightings at a selection of English Heritage properties, often recorded and related through interviews with site staff.

Selling Points:

• New ghost stories by well-known writers, set in spectacular historical properties.
• New illustrations by the award-winning artist Clive Hicks-Jenkins, commissioned especially for this edition.
• A gazetteer of English Heritage properties thought to be haunted, including first-hand accounts from staff and records of peculiar events.

The book also contains 16 black and white illustrations to complement the eerie tales and historical anecdotes.
