Hauntings is an intriguing collection of short stories by a group of fabulous historical fiction writers. And, boy, they know how to keep you reading!

Whether you're thrown back into ancient Roman times, seek revenge in medieval England, or delve behind the walls of an asylum, Hauntings has a tale for you.

The stories draw you in, some with their ghostly activities and others through the sheer horror faced by the protagonists. You can sense the surprise, the unease, the fear, the plotting. If you're of a feeble disposition towards horror (as I am), make sure to read it with the lights on! 

My favourite story was S.J.A. Turney's tale, Furies, about a haunted Roman general. It's like The Fog meets Rome. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. 

But all the other stories were equally gripping, and often spine-tingling, and well worth your reading time.

Hauntings is intriguing as it is chilling, and an excellent read. Be prepared for the stories to invade your dreams...

Highly recommended!
