Steve Nallon's Ghost Stories is a darkly humorous collection of twelve ghost stories for grown-ups offering modern takes on the classic British supernatural tradition - including:*
There's a tale with a plan to expose fraudulent clairvoyants that leads to unexpectedly grave consequences.
* A Gothic horror featuring the biblical Witch of Endor.
* Lady Thatcher a-haunting Downing Street and freaking out recent prime ministers, including the present incumbent, Sir Keir Starmer.
* A murder mystery set in an old manor house where a symposium on the Victorian ghost tale is taking place.
* A creepy Halloween homage to M.R. James.
* A laugh-out-loud farce involving a frolicsome Hattie Jacques taking up ghostly residence in the downstairs toilet of two gay bears.
* Plus Christmas angels, unaccountable shadows and a theatre ghost!
All twelve stories have lavish, full colour digital paintings by Spitting Image artist and illustrator, Scott Brooker.
