13 CORNISH GHOST STORIES Edited by Marie Macneill and Joanne Ella Parsons and published by Mabecron Books
A chilling anthology of new Cornish ghost stories featuring 13 local writers: Emily Barr; Emma Cowell; Tony Cowell; Liz Fenwick; Jane Johnson; Marie Macneill; Graham Mitchell; Annamaria Murphy; Joanne Ella Parsons; Kate Riordan; Pauline Sheppard; Nicola K Smith; and Roz Watkins.
Cornwall is the perfect setting for tales, myths, and legends.
The wild moors, the granite, the clay, the rebellious sea, and flat calm coves make the county a vast and inspirational canvas.
The starry nights, needle-sharp gorse, and windswept tors and carns provide perfect backdrops to eerie full moons and ghostly goings-on.
Mischievous piskies dance across our landscape, while the spectres of the past, both real and imagined, haunt our memories and our dreams.
Between the covers of this original short story collection, readers will find ghost stories set all over Cornwall.
Marie Macneill: “It is an eclectic and haunting mix of brand-new stories which draw inspiration from Cornwall’s romantic and treacherous land and seascapes, exploring its reputation as a place of myths and magic.”
