They encompass everything from strange Christmas customs ("We Wish You A Merry Christmas … Or Else!"), to the season's monsters ("He Sees You When You're Sleeping"), to ghost stories of Christmas ("'Tis The Season" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear").

The Handbook to the Ghost Story sets out to survey and significantly extend a new field of criticism which has been taking shape over recent years, centring on the ghost story and bringing together a vast range of interpretive methods and theoretical perspectives. The main task of the volume is to properly situate the genre within historical and contemporary literary cultures across the globe, and to explore its significance within wider literary contexts as well as those of the supernatural. The Handbook offers the most significant contribution to this new critical field to date, assembling some of its leading scholars to examine the key contexts and issues required for understanding the emergence and development of the ghost story.

The Spirit Of The All is a book of short stories which focus on what might be called the supernatural world. Each tale depicts one or more of the many ideas relating to what people believe the spirit is. This is not a work of religious beliefs or religious stories, nor is it a series of ghost stories. It is, instead, a collection of stories which regards spiritual energy as the unseen, but powerful, background to our ordinary lives with the tales featuring the good, the bad and the unlikeliest of events and experiences.
