Eight Ghosts

"These eerie, unsettling stories are guaranteed to send shivers down your spine."  -  Daily Express 

Eight authors were given the freedom of their chosen English Heritage site, from medieval castles to a Cold War nuclear bunker. Immersed in the past and chilled by rumours of hauntings, they channelled their darker imaginings into a series of extraordinary new ghost stories. 

Sarah Perry's intense tale of possession at the Jacobean country house Audley End is a work of psychological terror, while Andrew Michael Hurley's story brings an unforgettably shocking slant to the history of Carlisle Castle. Within the walls of these historic buildings, each author has found inspiration to deliver a new interpretation of the classic ghost story. 

"Subtly evocative of human relations loss, grief, or the fear of loneliness."  - Times Literary Supplement

Also includes a gazetteer of English Heritage properties which are said to be haunted.
