Crowvus

The dark nights have drawn in, so now is the time to start thinking about sharing spooky stories.

Here are fourteen brand-new ghost stories, just waiting to bring a chill to your bones or a tear to your eye.

Proudly presenting the shortlisted stories from our competition.

It’s that time of year again! The time when we shut the curtains at four o’ clock, the time when we walk home blowing clouds of steam as we go, and the time when we pass the time telling ghostly stories around a roaring fire.

This book of fifteen spooky stories will leave you quaking, smiling or crying. Take a trip along the haunted path to find ghosts in unexpected places.

2020 was a year when we needed creativity and imagination more than we ever have done before…

A Ghost for Christmas is a treasure trove of ghost stories: ones which will terrify you, others which will make you smile and cry at the same time. Each and every story is a doorway for you to open, walk through, and explore what’s on the other side…

A cow is lowing in the byre and a misty shroud covers parts of the red dawn. They call to me to take note: this is the time of year when all bets are off – when the veil between worlds is sheer.

For those with a sense of it, these marvellous stories will sit well with you, bringing you home with the conviction that there is more to this life than everything you can touch.

Love… Loss… Revenge
Here are the ghosts of Christmas, and each one is ready to draw you in.
Welcome to the 6th Crowvus ghost story anthology.
Within these pages, you will find the winning and shortlisted stories from our 2022 ghost story competitions. And we are certain you will not be disappointed.

Unwrap the spectral mysteries which linger beneath the twinkling lights and festive cheer, as talented storytellers conjure tales of haunting encounters and the mysterious dance between the living and the departed. From the warmth of the hearth to the frosty depths of a winter’s night, these tales will send shivers down your spine.

From growing up in a haunted house, to spectral soldiers in the middle of the night, “Those Experiences” will have you questioning your own beliefs of the paranormal.

This book is designed to offer inspiration and idea for those hoping to write in this genre, especially if you are looking at entering our Ghost Story competition.

A collection of short stories by individuals, around criteria imagined by six other people! These are the stories from our Book Week Scotland event, each written from the Consequences sheet. Madness, hilarity, and tears… Whatever the Consequences, this is a book worth a look!

Maybe outlaws have driven you from your home, or maybe the wyverns have destroyed everything you know.​
Whatever the reason, you are alone in the wilderness and you need to eat. You need this recipe book before those hungry vultures seize their chance.​
A tongue in cheek tale of fantasy cuisine.
