The Travelling Bag - And Other Ghostly Stories (Broché)

From the foggy streets of Victorian London to the eerie perfection of 1950s suburbia, the everyday is invaded by the otherworldly in this unforgettable collection of ghost stories from the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. In the title story, on a murky evening in a club off St James's, a paranormal detective recounts his most memorable case. A lonely boy makes a friend in "Boy Twenty-One", but years later is forced to question the very nature of that friendship.
"Alice Baker" tells the story of a mysterious new office worker who is accompanied by a lingering smell of decay. In "The Front Room", a devoutly Christian mother tries to protect her children from the evil influence of their grandmother, both when she is alive and afterwards. And in "Printer's Devil Court", three medical students make an unholy pact whose consequences will pursue one of them to the grave - and perhaps beyond.
