Description
Are you brave enough to walk into the parlour and discover what happens when a ghost interrupts you whilst digging the grave of the man you just murdered?
This haunting collection of twisting tales of all things supernatural will tangle you in the stench of sage, the taste of sulphur on the wind, and the whisper of a half-heard incantation.
Accompanied by a host of diabolical characters lose yourself in a web of words to discover why you must never steal from a witch, how to murder a ghost and when saving a Siren is not a good idea. And, how would you respond if the witches who rescued you from a stake demand to know what magical powers you possess when you know you don’t have any?
These are among the many dilemmas faced in the tantalising collection of short stories you hold in your hand. In every tale, there is a touch of the ethereal and unknown that lies just beyond our sight line.
Delve just a little deeper and you will be entertained, amused and maybe even a little scared as you tread lightly over the threshold. But keep your eyes open your nightmares may not be as far away as you think.
Prizewinning short story writer Denarii Peters is the author of this first collection of short stories.
