In Seven Ghosts, Jake and fellow writers uncover chilling tales of spirits haunting a stately house, leading to an unsettling journey of discovery.
In Seven Ghosts, the award-winning author of Tales of Terror invites readers into a chilling narrative that intertwines the past with the present. Jake, along with other finalists in a prestigious writing competition, finds themselves at a stately house, where a seemingly ordinary tour quickly turns into a haunting experience. As they traverse through grand rooms and hidden corners, they are introduced to the tales of seven ghosts that linger in the shadows of the estate. Each story reveals more than just history; it unveils a sense of dread that grows with every whispered legend.
As Jake listens to the eerie accounts of the ghosts, he begins to feel an unsettling presence around him. The atmosphere thickens with tension, and strange shapes dart in and out of his vision, making him question what is real and what is merely a figment of his imagination. The narrative skillfully builds suspense, immersing readers in a world where the line between the living and the dead blurs. With each ghostly tale, the stakes rise, and Jake's journey becomes a race against time to uncover the truth behind the spirits that haunt the stately house.
Seven Ghosts is particularly appealing for reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8 and above, offering a gripping, multi-narrative horror experience that balances spine-tingling thrills with accessible storytelling. This book is perfect for those who enjoy a good scare while exploring themes of fear, courage, and the unknown.
“Delightfully chilling … Priestley is the M.R. James of children’s literature” – The Times

"Chris Priestley knows just how to tell horror stories" – LoveReading4Kids
"A true master … [who] needs very few words to be seriously scary” –The Book Smugglers
"If you’re looking for something to get the heart racing and the hairs on the back of your neck rising without being overpoweringly spooky, this will do the trick" – The Letterpress Project
