What is The Orchard Book of Ghostly Stories about?
Along the lonely Drumnaquoile Road in County Down, winter brings more than rain, frost and darkness. In these eerie tales, travellers meet restless spirits, old wrongs refuse to stay buried and secrets linger long after the living have gone home. Some ghosts seek revenge, while others are waiting for justice to be done. With the dead sleeping lightly and the countryside full of strange sounds and shadows, every story offers a chilling glimpse into a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
