A collection of ten of the author's previously published ghostly tales, including "Rachel and the Angel" and "The Creatures in the House," and the previously unpublished "Graveyard Shift."

Cats, old churches, antiques and antique dealers: these are a few of the creatures, settings, items and individuals that crop up again and again in this posthumous collection of Westall's fiendishly clever, spine-tingling short fiction.
In "Graveyard Shift," a story which has not previously appeared in print, a cemetery superintendent whose duties include ushering the recently departed into the next world encounters a sinister, modern-day vampire.
The book's 10 other entries are culled from various collections of the author's work:
"A Walk on the Wild Side" is the chronicle of a shape-shifting cat's attempts to monopolize the affections of her owner.
Felines also figure in "The Creatures in the House," in which a motley crew of strays star in an uproarious slapstick scene and save the soul of the woman who rescued them.
"The Last Day of Miss Dorinda Molyneaux," the tale of a haunted church, shares a common theme with Westall's recent novel The Stones of Muncaster Cathedral.
Besides being genuinely creepy, these stories are witty, wise and laced with insight. Ages 10 and up.
