Overview

Haunting tales that can be enjoyed by readers time and again. Suffolk - a peaceful, rural county with big skies, rolling fields, unspoilt beaches, quaint towns and straggling villages. But all is not as quiet as it seems. Could that be the sound of sunken bells on a stormy night? Or an eerie clanking of gibbet chains at a lonely crossroads? Was that a desolate face at an upper window or was your sleep disturbed by the sound of a phantom fiddler? Not all cats are lucky and beware a north Suffolk Broad in the still, small hours of 24 June... Illustrated with original drawings, these thirty ghost tales from all corners of England's most easterly county are retold with spine-chilling freshness. So pull up a chair, stoke the fire and prepare to see this gentle landscape in a new light.
