Whispering In The Dark

Beschreibung

One by one the clocks of the town struck midnight, when the sounds died away the deep silence of windless night fell again over everything...' A great imagination makes for terrific ghost stories-stories that go beyond the tapping on the doors in the middle of a night or a whistling thrush or even a squeaky swing in the wind. This is a collection of some such horror stories selected and compiled by Ruskin Bond that will send shivers down your spine
