Publisher's Synopsis
Eleven short stories of the supernatural spanning from Victorian London to a lonely highway in modern California. From what lurks beneath the mist on haunted Scottish moorlands to the steamy docks of Haiti, where eyes watch from the shadows and footsteps echo deserted wharfs like the creak of stairs in an empty house. CREAKING STAIRCASES is a darkened room on a windy night, a glass of brandy or absinthe at your elbow with the light of the table lamp barely extending past your chair. And as you read, the darkness draws closer.
