Description
A Town of Ghosts by Gary Marshall is a collection of 19 original illustrated ghost stories set in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire. These loosely inspired tales draw upon the town's history and characters, often incorporating dark humour and nods to the works of MR James. The stories feature a range of bizarre and macabre characters, including a decomposing corpse and Death rebranded as a dust cart collector. Other tales explore themes of change and progress, while one story pays homage to the film Bladerunner with a futuristic plot involving malicious robots. The book also includes a tongue-in-cheek tale about the author's attempts to complete an unfinished literary work. Spooky and fun, A Town of Ghosts is a unique blend of horror and dark humour that will appeal to fans of ghost stories and illustrated tales.
