The Last Ghost and Other Stories — Marie O'Regan

The Last Ghost And Other Stories is the latest collection from Marie O'Regan. Here you will find “The Last Ghost”, a young girl's tale of loss; “In The Howling of the Wind”, a small boy waiting for his parents in a house suddenly grown strange; “Someone To Watch Over You”, the story of a protective phantom; “The Cradle in the Corner”, a slightly different haunting; “Play Time”, a cautionary tale on the dangers of playing out alone at night; “Sleeping Black”, a tale of vengeful spirits awoken by a house's new tenants, and “Suicide Bridge”, a love story with a difference.

“Simplicity is much harder than it looks. Marie O'Regan has that power. Her tales have the timeless quality of stories told by relatives over the heads of children who are meant to be in bed.” - Christopher Fowler
