Описание:
People have told stories since the world began - and everybody has a story.
Old Mr. Grimsby, retired and a widower, makes a hobby of collecting stories.
He collects stories from his housemaid, and from the housemaid's grandmother, from an old soldier, and from a dying woman.
Late one night, as he walks home past a churchyard, he's joined by a large black dog, a Churchyard Grim, which leads him out of this world to Heaven's Gate - and tells him a story to pass the time as they walk.
And in Heaven, the Virgin Herself pours the tea and tells a tale...
From the beginning to the end, we tell stories.
Everybody has a story.
The Story Collector is a collection of folk-tales, retold by the acclaimed writer, Susan Price. Here are old stories, wise stories, funny and sad stories, of life, death and rebirth; of loss and love.

Описание:
Praise for Nightcomers from Philip Pullman.
'Every tale shows the quality of the imagination, and the accuracy of the telling. What most impresses is the authority of Susan Price's voice: exact, rich or spare when necessary, able to evoke the Past without falsity, and the present without effort.'
(The Guardian.)

Описание:
Here are nine powerful stories written by acclaimed, award winning author, Susan Price.
Voices whisper in a graveyard...
'Who weeps on my grave, who keeps me from sleep? - Is it you who unearths me to this cold rain, this dark, this wind and all its grief?'
A lost sister speaks in a dream...
'She said,"I'm on Mow Top. But you won't find me now. Don't look. Forget me."
A supermarket is haunted by a murdered baby... Footsteps climb the stairs of a darknened cottage... A voice whispers in a museum...
Nine short, haunting stories of the supernatural, of loss and longing, of those who walk between this world and the next...
Review
'...The opening tale is...creepy, to the extent that the words crawl like cold fingers down your back. 'Mow Top' is heartbreakingly sad... This is how it works in real life. Children see ghosts and tell us. We reassure them, and ourselves, that there are no such things... 'The Familiar' is all about the cost of power, and cuts deep. The final story, 'Overheard in a Museum', is a thing of beauty, like the ship itself. You can feel the swell of the sea beneath you as you read. It speaks of a distant era and reminds us that objects so often outlast people by a long, long time. Except that the ship is not an object - it's the spirit of an age. - Rosalie Warren on Awfully Big Blog Adventure Reviews

Описание: In this eerie and unnerving collection, you will find some eerily chilling tales of the supernatural. Distinguished authors Joan Aiken, Robert Westall, Susan Price and Michael Morpurgo are just a few of the highly acclaimed writers who have contributed stories to this spooky collection. We meet a baby ghost in Ursula Moray Williams' 'A Ghost of One's Own', a cheeky modern boy ghost in Marjorie Darke's 'Hi, It's Me', a Victorian girl ghost with disturbing powers in Jane Gardam's 'Bang, Bang - Who's Dead?' and even a cat ghost in Gene Kemp's 'The Passing of Puddy'. Each one makes the unexplainable and unbelievable so real it will send tingles down your spine and scare you witless!

Stories written to haunt, 'to be poignant and evocative, persistently and disturbingly present.'
Praise for HAUNTINGS
'Susan Price understands well that the ghost story form may be used to move readers and question their prejudices about the nature of appearance, as well as to frighten delightfully. She never settles for cheap effects and writes beautifully of relationships between young and old.' The Daily Telegraph.
