Eight Ghosts: The English Heritage Book of New Ghost Stories

Eight Ghosts: The English Heritage Book of New Ghost Stories | Jeanette Winterson

I‘ve lapsed, life getting in the way. So, picking up where I left off…

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 228

I don‘t normally like short stories but for ghost stories, I think the format works well. This is a really good collection that features castles from all over the UK. I really enjoyed this. #scarathlon2020 #teamslaughter total 330 points

I read the first story in this one today (by Sarah Perry) and it was quite #creepy. 👻 #Screamathon #ScreamathonPhotoChallenge

I‘ll also use this one for day 7 of #HorrorCoverCrush 👻

LeahBergen @vivastory Thank you for coming up with the hashtag! I loved your posts, too. 👍🏻 5y

LeahBergen @Tamra I‘m enjoying it slowly and reading one story a day. The back of the book has the history of each heritage home that a story is based upon and a bit about any hauntings/legends associated with it. It‘s fun! 5y

LeahBergen @Aimeesue That‘s a good deal! 👍🏻 5y

The perfect way to kick off October! What a truly wonderful collection of ghost stories. Each one was quite different from the next, yet I enjoyed them all.

Linsy Ooh, this sounds good! 6y

Jess_Franzino @Linsy It is! Some of the best authors in the UK contributed to it 😃 6y

It‘s the most wonderful time of the year. 👻

What shall I read this month? I hope to knock at least a few of these off the TBR.

JenlovesJT47 Jane Steele is awesome!! 6y

JenlovesJT47 Just saw the bottom book, that one is great, too! 6y

DGRachel I enjoyed Jane Steele once I divorced it from Jane Eyre in my mind. 😂 6y

writerlibrarian Ditto Jane Steele. Loved it. 6y

saresmoore Ooh, fun! 6y

Aimeesue There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago…. Why do we not tell ghost stories at Christmas anymore? Guess we have to blame Dickens. The ghosts in A Christmas Carol just weren't scary enough, I guess. 😂 6y

Reviewsbylola The bottom two for sure! 6y

emilyhaldi The elementals for sure!! You can join the Dargusch bookclub in spirit once again 😉🤗 6y

Kalalalatja Jane Steele was such a great read 👌 6y

batsy I've yet to read The Woman in Black and every October I remind myself to 😂 6y

rubyslippersreads You know I‘m voting for

The Uninvited

MemoirsForMe Great stack! My vote:

My Best Friend's Exorcism: A Novel

Moray_Reads Strange to say but I enjoyed all the different versions of the Woman in Black; audiobook, film, stage show, more than the book itself. Even though the film takes some generous liberties with the story. I think it's HEARING the sounds that makes the difference 6y

Eight authors were allowed “after hours” access to English Heritage sites to write ghost stories in support of the foundation. 😮 I‘m pretty excited about this one!
