Reviews

Terrific - every bit as good as an MR James collection -- ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHAN
I absolutely devoured The Winter Spirits - every story is a gem. This collection will form part of my Christmas reading tradition. -- LAURA SHEPPERSON, author of THE HEROINES
This is another dazzling collection which bridges the gap between tradition and new writing quite brilliantly. Each author's voice is eerily distinct in stories that range from playful melancholy to outright terror. It's a wonderful anthology: chilling, moving, tremendously satisfying, and a joy to read. -- AMANDA MASON, author of THE WAYWARD GIRLS
