A masterful collection of spooky tales. Each one is truly original. The Winter Spirits is a real treat for the autumn and winter.
I absolutely devoured The Winter Spirits - every story is a gem. This collection will form part of my Christmas reading tradition.
A must for fans of The Haunting Season. Prepare to be spooked.

An eerily macabre, hauntingly propulsive collection of ghostly tales
This deliciously eerie follow-up to the bestselling ghost story collection The Haunting Season is the perfect bedfellow for these cold winter nights.
This is another dazzling collection which bridges the gap between tradition and new writing quite brilliantly. Each author's voice is eerily distinct in stories that range from playful melancholy to outright terror. It's a wonderful anthology: chilling, moving, tremendously satisfying, and a joy to read.
There are ghosts, monsters and things that go bump in the night in this cracking collection of supernatural stories . . . creepy and atmospheric
