A Ghostly Little Book brings you five brand new spooky stories from five of the best writers on the planet
From Edgar Allen Poe to Charles Dickens, from Shirley Jackson to Toni Morrison, the greatest writers have, in some way or other, always been drawn to that ancient, mysterious thing: the haunting. A Ghostly Little Book is a slim, beautiful testament to the enduring appeal of the spook, a landmark collection of especially composed modern ghost stories from five of the most acclaimed and exciting authors at work today. Elif Shafak, Roddy Doyle, Eliza Clark, Tom Crewe and Helen Oyeyemi are some of the most original and arresting writers on the planet, and their tales are map of all of the many twists and turns the ghost story might take; at turns strange, unsettling, heartwarming, hilarious and, of course, blood-chilling.
