There is something peculiar about the hour after midnight.

It is the time when darkness reigns.

And strange things roam the earth.

In this dazzling collection of original haunted tales, thirteen bestselling and much-loved authors bring the old superstition of the witching hour to new and vivid life.

Transporting you from the smog of London to the freezing mists of Svalbard, from an Irish town riddled with rumour to a sinister English boarding school, these thirteen stories will serve as your spinetingling companion to the long hours of winter.

So curl up, light a candle, and wait for the clock to strike . . .©2025 Michelle Paver, Stacey Halls, Bridget Collins, Imogen Hermes Gowar, Natasha Pulley, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Jess Kidd, Andrew Michael Hurley, Elizbeth Macneal, Stuart Turton, Susan Stokes-Chapman, Catriona Ward, Laura Shepherd-Robinson Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Ghosts Historical Fiction Horror Haunted Winter

I won’t tell you which story, you’ll find it.

Overall, a wonderful mix, and all nicely done

One story especially beautifully read, and would bring a tear to a glass eye.

I have to admit I haven’t finished this book yet but each chapter is a self contained story and so far each has been my favourite.
If you love a spooky story this book is full of them.
It’s so brilliant I’m considering buying a print copy for my daughter for Christmas as she’ll love it.

Brilliant

I’ve really enjoyed the previous books — The Haunting Season and The Winter Ghosts — published by the Little, Brown Book Group, so I was eagerly anticipating this new edition. I wasn’t disappointed. Every story was beautifully written, and the choice of narrators was fantastic. I loved them all so much that it’s hard to pick a favorite. With Halloween just around the corner, this audiobook was exactly what I needed to get into the spooky spirit.

A collection of well written stories
