My Grandma Nan was a storyteller. We would gather round and listen with rapt attention as she spun her yarns, hanging on every deliciously spooky word.

In this book I have taken the songs and legends passed down through my family and crafted them into delightfully unsettling tales.

Herein lies a collection of dark stories about thieves and murderers, strange creatures and horrific happenings, ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night.

These are the tales my grandmother told me.
