In the winter of 2016 English Heritage sent some of the UK's finest contemporary writers to stay at different sites of historical importance across the UK. From Dover Castle to York's Cold War Bunker their experiences informed their chilling creations. Eight authors, eight ghost stories, eight unsettling, supernatural creations set loose in time for Halloween. With stories by Kate Clanchy, Mark Haddon, Andrew Hurley, Stuart Evers, Max Porter, Sarah Perry, Kamila Shamsie, Jeanette Winterson and an introduction from Andrew Martin.

Reviews for Eight Ghosts: The English Heritage Book of Ghost Stories

`An impressive line-up of established and emerging names.' Sunday Times | `Subtly evocative of human relations - loss, grief, or the fear of loneliness.' TLS | `Will send shivers down your spine and make you check under the bed before you sleep. A satisfying and spooky read.' Sun | `Unnervingly good, with tales of malevolent works of Jacobean art, time-slip theatrics in a Cold War bunker and a keep that lives up to its name.' Sunday Express
