An unexpected and unwelcome voice on the world's first radio broadcast in 1908. A son who won't stop messaging his family on Facebook, although he's been dead for quite some time now. A frozen forest in a far north land where the sinister elf-kin lurk in the snow.
A Scottish island where the locals make very sure their old folk don't go hungry through the long winter.
Over the past two decades Adam Macqueen has sent a Haunted Tale to his family in place of a Christmas card. A collection in the grand tradition of ghost stories - to be read by the fire in the depths of winter - it proves that terror lurks in many places, and the dead take on infinite guises . . .
