A Christmas Ghost Story

Praise for Kim Newman:“An English Ghost Story is a terrific read!“William Friedkin”Compulsory reading… Glorious”Neil Gaiman”Immersive, claustrophobic and utterly wonderful”M.R. Carey, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl With All the Gifts”Kim Newman gets inside your head like pollen off a field of wildflowers; the pleasant idyllic turns full of suffocating dread. Thoroughly enjoyable, master storytelling.“Lauren Beukes, bestselling author of The Shining Girls.“A masterful and often disturbing updating of the traditional haunted house story given a modern twist by an author who continues to push the limits of every genre he works in.“Stephen Jones”All the elements of a classic spook story… beautifully written”SFX”With An English Ghost Story, Kim Newman shows that he can’t help himself when he tackles a genre, he reinvents it. This time it’s the haunted house novel, given a radical makeover that both references the past and looks to the future…suffice it to say that tales of terrifying dwellings will never be the same again.“The Independent
