The Travelling Bag and Other Ghostly Storied by Susan Hill

The Travelling Bag and Other Ghostly Stories by Susan Hill

A collection of five spooky short stories from the master of classic horror with a contemporary twist, I loved the different themes Hill gets into in this collection. You may know Hill from her bestseller, The Woman in Black (adapted for stage and screen).

I think the Alice Baker story was my favourite, it brought a real chill down my spine in the way it played with urban horror. It really manages to make working at a city centre office block incredibly sinister, which is no mean feat!

There’s medical horror, family horror, ghostly visitations, and some murder too. A real great all-rounder of a collection with Hill’s trademark masterly prose.

Big recommendation for any #spookyseason readers who like a traditional ghost story.

One word: spooky.
