It’s either a retirement master-stroke or a cop out. You decide. I was reading the Sunday papers while we were in Wales and it was full of Halloween stuff. I haven’t had time to write a new ghost story but I thought I would dig out one of my old ones (available on Kindle as…

Ghost story 9 : All Part of the Service
I love ghost stories, (although sadly Mrs Summerhouse does not), as books (Stephen King et al), stories (M.R.

Ghost story number 1 : Returned without prejudice
Each month as a way of trying something different I will publish a ghost story. They will be available as an Ebook. This first story is about a man who went to a supermarket and found an aisle that sold items he hadn’t expected to find, items that were to have unhappy consequences.
