Ghostly Stories

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. Be sure you dont answer the door to anyone you dont know. A little Patricia Highsmith, a touch of Shirley Jackson: the long-neglected Celia Fremlin wrote short, sharp stories that threw womens lives into shiver-inducing relief. In each of these twinned tales, a mother and daughter meet again, and an ordinary home becomes the setting for a return of the repressed. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
