Ghost Lights: Horror Short Stories

The fantastic seventh book in the horror anthology series which Booklist called "Highly recommended for longstanding horror fans and those readers who may not think horror is for them."

Ghost Lights is the seventh volume in the non-themed horror series of original stories, showcasing the very best short fiction that the genre has to offer, and edited by Mark Morris. This new anthology contains 20 original horror stories, 15 of which have been commissioned from some of the top names in horror, and 5 selected from the hundreds of stories sent to Flame Tree during a short open submissions window. A delicious feast of the familiar and the new, the established and the emerging.

Previous titles in the series, all still in print, are: After Sundown, Beyond the Veil, Close to Midnight, Darkness Beckons, Elemental Forces and Fever Dreams.
