Threatening, gloomy skies. Dark, chilly days and even darker, colder nights. Whispering from the corner or the rustle of dead leaves? A vision of the future or your worst nightmare come true? A silly game or a portal into the unknown? Was that a creak on the stairs or just the wind whistling in the eaves? You don’t have to believe in ghosts to enjoy a ghost story. Between these pages, you will find ghosts of all kinds. Not all ghosts are scary as I set out to prove in some of these stories. Some of the spirits within are indeed dark and vengeful, while others are playful and helpful and one wants to be forgiven for a past sin, despite the cruelty and injustice he himself suffered. All the stories within are set during winter, at or near Christmas, when in many homes it is traditional to read or listen to ghost stories, so curl up by the fireside and read on. I hope you enjoy the ghostly tales inside this cover. Sweet dreams and sleep well!
Time to Choose is a collection of short stories of mystery and the supernatural. Tragedy, murder, betrayal, and revenge all haunt the pages within; a witch who uses her powers to rid herself of nuisance neighbours, a demon who terrorises a town in a race against time, a deathbed visit from the Devil himself, vengeful ghosts seeking payback from beyond the grave and the tragic ghost of an unloved, unwanted child seeking a playmate for eternity.
From all corners of the UK and her coastal waters to New York and California comes a collection of spiteful, vengeful and sometimes tragic spirits who cannot or will not rest until they have wrought their fury on their human victims.
I have received the exciting news that my second book of short stories of the supernatural is due for publication on 2nd February 2024!
