A Ghostly Gathering

Kenneth Ireland
(Knight)
978-0340575437, RRP £2.99, Hardcover
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Ghostly Gathering" on Amazon

Ireland offers a gathering of 13 standard ghost stories where the beyond revisits the here and now. Some of the visitations are beneficial as when a ghostly boy rescues a drowning maiden or timely warnings are given. Others are downright malicious, like the gorgeous girl who wrecks a chap's first date, or the tricky herbalist who induces a paper lad to run around the town starkers, under the impression he's invisible. This will make an acceptable dip-read, for boys particularly, who want something immediate and not too taxing.
