Low Magic

Nine ghost stories spanning the ages from the ninth century to the present day. Epitaph An academic with antiquarian inclinations is about to learn that posthumous reputations can, at times, be rather jealously guarded. The Fighting Cheribatsu As the Second World War rages, the urbane and somewhat wistful Sir Henry Fennick recollects the visit of Mr and Mrs Motazuku some quarter of a century earlier. Life at Lower Chertwell had appeared so full of promise. Such a brief visit, yet so profound. Poor little Bertie. Equal Shares An apparently generous bequest proves to possess some rather ...

More than ever before, she very much needed for even just a small piece of ...
