And the sparks really
fly, for even more than in normal stories, every word must be used
economically, every sentence planned in detail . . . These stories are short
but sweet, with talented debutants rubbing shoulders with established writers.

of ghosts]

Tafelberg
Publishers
Compiled
by Charles Fryer
Thirty
three writers unite to send cold shivers down the reader's spine; from our best
experienced writers to promising young ones. The stories deal mostly with
ghosts or the presence of another dimension.
|
Restless
spirits dwell in an old farm house, in the care ward of a hospital, or in the
night mist alongside the sea. A mystical stalker fills a young girl with a
mixture of enchantment and fear, while other phantoms come to give solace to
loved ones after a sudden death.
Most
of these tales are fictitious, others partially, and some are based on actual
events. Sometimes the experience, by dream or vision, lies on the brink of
reality.
After
reading this book, ghosts will never be the same again. But be warned: Do not
read all the stories in one sitting; allow each of them to haunt you in their
own right.
Read
Fanie Viljoen's short story Spookstorie (Ghost Story) in this compilation.
