Death's Sweet Echo

Thirteen ghost stories and strange tales - only three previously published, so ten brand new - and all are recently written.

There is a scratching at the door, but surely no-one is there. The house is empty, so the footsteps on the stairs
must be in my imagination. The way that shadow just moved, like breathing, must be a trick of the light.

In thirteen new ghost stories and strange tales Maynard & Sims prove they are masters of subtle unease, shifting from reality to distorted nightmares with a few deft words, creating an atmosphere of dread with superb characterisation, pacing and plotting.

“Maynard Sims’ work is superbly detailed, and very well written.” British Fantasy Society.

“Proof of what these much underrated writers are capable of producing when at their best.” Peter Tennant.

“Maynard and Sims revitalize the traditional thrills of haunted houses, ghosts, and witches by emphasizing the psychological turmoil of character’s minds.” Cemetery Dance.
