Border Ghost Stories

"Border Ghost Stories" by Howard Pease is a compilation that brings together various ghost stories inspired by the folklore and legends along the borderlands between England and Scotland. The stories are set in landscapes haunted by historical events and figures, such as Sir Walter Scott, and the collection's tone is built upon the idea that locations themselves hold stories and that echoes of the past linger in the form of ghosts. With its introduction, a foundation is established for the unsettling experiences ahead, weaving characters like an anxious young apprentice into a world of darkness, familial tension, and supernatural enigmas.
