Equation

"All of the elements of literate, affectionate, and skilful pastiche are here: the country churches, the English lanes, the wood-carving and paint-work restoring heroine, the casual references to endearingly obscure historical volumes… The least of these stories pass in a pleasant dreamy haze… but several tales in The Angry Dead transcend homage and qualify as exceptional contemporary ghost stories in their own right.” Thus wrote Glen Hirshberg of the original publication of The Angry Dead in 2001. The twelve stories included (eleven of them featuring church restorer Jane Bradshawe) were originally written and published in the 1980s, and have all been fully revised for this new edition\n“I love the occult detective sub-genre of literary ghost stories a great deal, and none more so than the ghostly investigations of art restorer Jane Bradshawe!” – Jessica Amanda Salmonson.
