"Here is the whisper in the night, the dog whose loyalty outlasted death, the creak upstairs, that half-remembered ghost story that won't let you sleep, the sound that raises gooseflesh, the wish you'd checked the lock on the door before dark fell. Here are tales of suspense and the supernatural that will chill, amuse, and exhilarate. Features a new introduction by the late author's daughter, Lizza Aiken."--

Review of 'The people in the castle' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Any collection of short stories edited and introduced by Kelly Link (as well as Joan Aiken’s daughter, Lizza), one of my very favorite short story writers, is a collection well worth your time. Also, when a book contains not one but TWO ghost doggos (in two very different stories, no less), you know it’s something special. There are so many flavors of fantastic creativity happening in these stories that I am utterly enchanted by Joan Aiken. I know I’m late to her oeuvre, but now that I’m here, I can’t wait to read more of her work.
