Suffer the Children: A Ghost Story

‘Mysterious, intelligent and wonderfully creepy (*****)’ ‘Selwood has mastered this style and the tale leaves you with chills long after you’ve finished reading (*****)’ ‘Ultimately, Selwood has written what can only be described as a perfect short story’ – Featured Review London, 1897. An elderly bibliophile receives a letter from the recently retired head of the Bodleian Library in Oxford. But the tale it relates of a book buying journey to Cracow soon turns into a hellish nightmare. A homage to M R James, the undisputed master of the Victorian antiquarian ghost story . Please note: this is a short story like the original M R James short stories. It is about 4,000 words long, in a 32-page small format book (7” x 4.3”).
