NOT THERE: A Ghost Story for Christmas Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

This Christmas, release your inner Scrooge...

Eirlys Stephens has always longed to write, but before her husband Mason left her for her best friend Hazel, between spousal and family demands, she never had the time. This Christmas she decides to ditch the Laura Ashley tablecloth, Charlotte Rhead gravy boat, and dry roast turkey to go on a residential writing course at Savernake House, a mansion once owned by The Most Evil Man In Wales...

This novella is a ghostly mystery inspired by one of M.R. James' "fragments" as listed in his famous 1929 essay "Stories I Have Tried to Write".
