The Haunting of Thornham Staithe
A series of hauntings in a Norfolk town, apparently unrelated, attract little attention until the first death occurs. Even then, it is difficult to link the death, which has not been witnessed by any of the townspeople, to the hauntings in any sensible way. Life goes on until further deaths occur, once again unwitnessed. No one is ready to commit themselves to a point of view and, therefore, a plan of action, because no one wants to be seen to believe in ghosts. Eventually, after the publican's psychic supper has created terror in the medium, two ghost hunters (who prefer to call themselves 'paranormal investigators') are called in by the vicar and events take a turn for the worst: several villagers are threatened, a stranger plays his hand with disastrous consequences, the doctor's wife returns from the dead and the village historian (perhaps the only person who has any chance of understanding the connection between the hauntings) is driven to the edge of sanity. The vicar, who has been a central figure all along, decides he must act with or without his bishop's permission or even his wife's agreement, and decides to call upon the help of an old priest, once the Deliverance Minister of his diocese.

Paul Shreeve is an English professor who gets mistaken for a ghost by his neighbors. Though a man of strict rationality and analysis, he cannot shake his ghostly identity, nor will his neighbors allow him to forget. The ghost moves into his thoughts, his work, and his family and begins to chew at his very existence. His head, which drove his entire life, is confounded by something he can't quite touch. His ghosted self drives him to the fringes of rationality and beyond as he looks for something, anything, to help drive it away.Full of larger-than-life departmental intrigues and wacky adventures, Ghost In Theory is an unfortunately all-too-accurate look into the daily life of an academic. What is real? What is imagined? What is metaphor? Protagonist and reader alike can only guess, as Shreeve's mental deterioration reveals tragedies both immediate and historical. A must-read for anyone who has ever attended a faculty meeting.

Gold, Ghosts, and Woolly's
Gold, Ghosts and Woollys is a fictional work, conceived solely for the entertainment of the reader. The story unfolds, to the sheer delight, of a child with a vivid imagination before the age of radio, T.V., telephones, cellphones, and computers. Household electricity was still in the future. Entertainment was tall tale telling.Such was my life, raised by grandparents, about to start school in 1948, a long way from town and all its conveniences. In that long ago age, people still talked to one another. Old folks could still talk to kids - and kids, could still talk to adults. In that long ago age where, God, family, country, and compassion for our fellow man, governed our lives. What affected one, affected all. The isolation of today was unknown back then. Self-reliance and reliance on our fellowman was expected and accepted. Gold Ghosts and Woollys is a fictional portrayal of a time lost in this modern world. My heartfelt hope is that the reader of this tall tale enjoys the view of the world, now lost in today's insanity, posed as progress.

Semper Fi with a Side of Donuts or Bacon
Semper Fi with a Side of Donuts or Bacon is a hybrid of fact and fiction. The story is set in 1989, Quantico, Virginia, from the perspective of Abe Rush, a woman Marine Corps captain. She is unexpectedly reassigned to train second lieutenants at the officers' Basic School (TBS), and the backbone of the story is her experiences instructing and, in many cases, suffering along with these newbies as they transition from commissioned civilians to Marine officers. This theme is largely biographical, based on the author's personal experiences.When Abe transferred from Okinawa to Quantico, she returned with more than uniforms and souvenirs. She unknowingly brought back the ghost of a World War II Marine gunnery sergeant. He has neither memory of his name nor where he was born, even how he died, but Abe and her friend Kelly (a Marine lawyer) assume he was killed at the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. While Kelly researches Marine Corps records, Abe subjects Gunny to TV shows that might jog his memory, though both Kelly's and Abe's efforts are largely unsuccessful. Gunny endures the programmed viewing and, despite Abe's intentions, becomes a TV junkie, enamored with anything related to John Wayne or football or ALF. And he's particularly fond of donuts and bacon, which he can't taste but can certainly smell.Gunny's perspective on the roles of women, particularly women in the military, is obviously dated. However, his perceptions of female officers and women, in general, evolves, and he gradually and grudgingly acknowledges their changed roles in the military and society almost fifty years after his death.Gunny's name and history are eventually revealed but with a unique twist, neither he nor Abe could have imagined.

The Shrieking Skull and Other Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories
Thirteen rare tales by the most prolific Victorian Christmas ghost story author, collected and republished for the first time!Move over, Charles Dickens! The author of "A Christmas Carol" may be the most famous Victorian author of Christmas ghost stories, but the king of the genre was James Skipp Borlase (1839-1909), who published dozens of them in obscure British and Australian periodicals during a nearly fifty-year span. Now for the first time, thirteen of Borlase's best tales have been unearthed from newspaper archives and compiled in a single volume for modern readers.In "A Weird Wooing" (1898) an impecunious suitor braves a house haunted by the ghosts of plague victims in search of a legendary treasure. "The Steel-Bound Valise" (1875) tells of a horrid murder and a spectral vision that reveals the truth behind the awful deed. In "A Bride from the Dead" (1899), a man races against time on horseback to save his beloved from a forced marriage-but arrives too late to prevent an even more horrible and macabre fate. This volume showcases Borlase's wide range, featuring macabre and bone-chilling stories alongside more lighthearted pieces, all of them just as entertaining to read on a winter's night as they were more than a century ago.
