Description:Alan Peters' Christmas Ghost story collection builds on the long tradition of scary stories told to send a shiver down the spine. This anthology of five contemporary tales mixes the best of old style yarns with modern, relevant settings. A young family find their rambling bed and breakfast was once the scene of a disturbing series of events; a hard nosed young executive finds out the true meaning of Christmas...but is she too late to change her ways? A new Headmaster discovers his school hides a shocking past. A young couple's dream home bears a terrifying and tragic secret; a family gather around their aging mother for one final, special, Christmas celebration. The events of each frightening tale takes place at Christmas, when our desire for a Dickensian snow fall, creaking winds and coloured lights reflecting in windows is double edged. Such nostalgia-inducing tradition is compelling, but its ghostliness gruesome. Memories of A Christmas Carol, of ghostly dramas on TV, of sitting on the edge of our beds, goggle eyed as terrible tales are shakingly shared - all are evoked by this collection. But they are Christmas ghost stories of the traditional kind. The fears they generate are psychological; the thrilling discomfort they evoke grows steadily until suddenly it hits, it encompasses, it satisfies. Children love ghost stories. Adults love ghost stories. And adults who are still children at heart love them even more. What better time to return to childhood than at Christmas? Unless, of course, that childhood is of the kind featured in some of these stories! Christmas is a time of giving and loving. It is a time of nostalgia and tradition. What better way to echo this than with a collection of Christmas ghost stories? Five superbly written, bite sized ones which can be shared, one at a time, over the build up to the festive treat, or (if you are brave enough) devoured in front of the fire, lights dimmed, a glass of something warming in hand. Let's hope the wind outside blows not too hard, and you can blot out the hoot of owls and the rattling of windows; until, at least, the slow knock, knock, knock on the door is heard... Ghost stories celebrate all that is magical about Christmas, go and buy this collection now as a treat for yourself or a gift for a loved one. And make the traditions of Christmas stronger in your heart.Also available in Paperback from Amazon, or by emailing ABPetersLTD direct on [email protected] requesting a copy)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
