Sixteen Ghost Stories

by Nicholas Foster

Overview

Sixteen intriguing ghost stories in which eight old friends meet to tell strange and haunting tales from their lives. While these subtle ghost stories are more thoughtful than violent, they often bring the past into the present with a short sharp shock. Ranging from the Baltic Sea to the Sudan and from 17th century London to Tibet, these stories within stories blend history and crime with the emphasis always on the characters and the lives that they lead. The stories describe a range of well-documented but puzzling and troubling visitations in which the worst can often happen in bright sunlight. Travelling in the footsteps of M.R.James' 'A Warning to the Curious' and the Roald Dahl stories filmed as 'Tales of the Unexpected', 'Sixteen Ghost Stories' is a free ebook collected edition of all the stories published earlier as 'Four Ghost Stories' ('The Rustling of Silk', 'The Comrades', 'Joining the Dance' and 'Ghosts in the Machine'), 'Four More Ghost Stories' ('Mr Westgrove', 'The Ghosts Within', 'The Sound of Singing' and 'The Final Page'), 'The Consul from Tunis', 'The Ghostwriter', 'The Ragged Girl', 'Close to the Wall', 'The Hand of Justice', 'Stavrakis', 'On the Bridge' and 'The Ice House'.

About the Author

I have published ten small books of ghost stories on Smashwords; 'Four Ghost Stories' (The Rustling of Silk, The Comrades, Joining the Dance, Ghosts in the Machine), 'Four More Ghost Stories' (Mr Westgrove, The Ghosts Within, A Sound of Singing, The Final Page), 'The Consul from Tunis', 'The Ghostwriter', 'The Ragged Girl', 'Close to the Wall', 'The Hand of Justice', 'Stavrakis', 'On the Bridge' and 'The Ice House'. Many of the stories draw on places where I've lived and worked. All the characters are fictitious, even the ghosts, except for those who have walked out of the pages of History. All my books are available for free download on Smashwords. A collected print version, 'The Consul from Tunis: and other ghost stories' is available as a paperback from Amazon.
