Overheard In A Graveyard - Susan Price - Bog

Here are nine powerful stories written by acclaimed, award winning author, Susan Price. Voices whisper in a graveyard...'Who weeps on my grave, who keeps me from sleep? - Is it you who unearths me to this cold rain, this dark, this wind and all its grief?'A lost sister speaks in a dream...'She said,"I'm on Mow Top. But you won't find me now. Don't look. Forget me."A supermarket is haunted by a murdered baby... Footsteps climb the stairs of a darknened cottage... A voice whispers in a museum...Nine short, haunting stories of the supernatural, of loss and longing, of those who walk between this world and the next...Review'...The opening tale is...creepy, to the extent that the words crawl like cold fingers down your back.'Mow Top' is heartbreakingly sad... This is how it works in real life. Children see ghosts and tell us. We reassure them, and ourselves, that there are no such things...'The Familiar' is all about the cost of power, and cuts deep.The final story, 'Overheard in a Museum', is a thing of beauty, like the ship itself. You can feel the swell of the sea beneath you as you read. It speaks of a distant era and reminds us that objects so often outlast people by a long, long time. Except that the ship is not an object - it's the spirit of an age. - Rosalie Warren on Awfully Big Blog Adventure Reviews
