The Ghost Downstairs | Leon Garfield
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A bargain of a lifetime - seven years off the end of his life in exchange for a fortune now! By day, Mr Fast was a solicitor’s clerk, drawing up strangle-tight agreements and contracts. By night he repaired to his rooms to spy upon his neighbours (for he had no friends) and to dream of being richer than other men. But when old Mr FIshbane offers him what he most desires in return for seven years off the end of his life, he could never imagine the little lost spectre that will come to haunt him . . . Another remarkable novel from Leon Garfield.

What a creepy little ghost story!!!
A solicitor's clerk makes a deal with a tenant in his building to receive a sum of money for 7 years off his life. It wasn't expected that he'd give the first seven years! As expected, chaos and madness ensue. Definitely not for the average kid these days but an unsettling read nonetheless!

Man... 70s kids were made of stronger stuff than Dav Pilkey's fart jokes, huh???
