FRIENDS OF THE DEAD by James Doig

Congratulations to James Doig for his forthcoming first collection of short stories, Friends of the Dead, coming from Sarob Press in January. 

FRIENDS OF THE DEAD

JAMES DOIG

Sarob Press is delighted to present the first collection of supernatural stories by James Doig. Most of these stories involve archives and manuscripts (unsurprisingly James works for the National Archives of Australia) and some of the particularly Jamesian outings first saw publication in Ghosts & Scholars magazine and in Ash-Tree Press publications. In these ten spooky stories the author invites the reader into eerie ghostly worlds of darkness, long shadows and subtle chills.

Contents: "Introduction" by the author;  “Malware*”;  “Wolferton Hall”; “The Kindness of Strangers”; “Mathrafal”; “Threads”; “The Wild Hunt”; “The Land Where Fairies Linger*”;  “Out of the West”; “The Dead Heart”; “Friends of the Dead”. 

*previously unpublished. The previously published stories have been extensively revised and re-written especially for this collection.

Publication currently scheduled for mid January 2015.
