Bloomsbury presents Historic Royal Palaces: Ghosts in the Walls, a collection of ghostly short stories read by Joshua Riley and Olivia Forrest

The unusual creak of a floorboard, a flash of light in the dark and the eerie breeze from a closed window … We've all heard tales of phantoms and spooks haunting old buildings, but how many of them can be linked back to real people, real lives and real history?

From the ghostly phantoms who walk the grounds at the Tower of London to a haunted maze at Hampton Court Palace, these spine-tingling tales of ghosts, ghouls and unexplained occurrences will bring history to life in the eeriest way possible.

Made in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, this stunning and spooky collection features eleven gripping stories from bestselling, award-winning and rising-star authors including: Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, Alexia Casale, Joseph Coelho, Larry Hayes, Jim Helmore, Catherine Johnson, Sophie Kirtley, E.L. Norry, Jasmine Richards, Imogen Russell Williams and Sam Sedgman.
