Book Description
Collected Prideaux Ghost Stories is another in the series of Prideaux ghost stories. It follows the book More Prideaux Ghost Stories and precedes A Christmas Story. Each story features a generation of the family in my line. The people, houses, villages and timelines are correct in each story. Some features of the stories have either been passed down or added by the author with a great deal of poetic licence. The Starling Tree features John Prideaux. He runs from his birth town of Chudleigh after experiencing the terrible fire which occurred there. His travels take him to Leeds and London and he learns that bad thoughts and deeds do create things which may have affected his life in ways he could not have foretold. Christmas at the Workhouse features Matthew Prideaux. A life of poverty and death did not stop him educating himself through his own efforts. During his final hours on Christmas Night 1887 he has a conversation with a young school teacher. As she takes notes about conditions in the workhouse she soon learns that not everyone who dies has left the building. Cherry Ripe features George Herbert Prideaux. A chance meeting with the prison guards who had attended a hanging at Armley Gaol sends George on a path which altered his whole life.

Book Description
Followers of the blogs on my website www.aaprideaux.com and readers of my books such as A Ghost Story, A Christmas Story and The Bishop and The Witch, will know that I have already written much about my branch of the Prideaux clan. I possess detailed information of each ancestor Prideaux, either already made public or still in my own records. These people all lived and died in the towns, villages and properties I describe. They experienced the events I write about. I have walked the same roads and visited the same properties these Prideauxs used to. The spooky connection is a mixture of oral tradition and artistic licence. This series of Prideaux short stories here, already published and the subsequent several (I have 28 stories to tell) all feature the Prideaux experience and interaction with horror and the paranormal. Prideaux Ghost Stories features John, the son of John in A Ghost Story, his son Thomas and his son Thomas. The Dartmoor Witch - John Prideaux. John and Agnes meet a witch on Dartmoor and seal their eternal fate. They encounter the hooded man and other ghosts who follow the family throughout their lives. Stowford Demons - Thomas Prideaux. Thomas and his family not only suffer through the Puritan uprising and bigotry but encounter the hooded man as the county veers towards Civil War. The Ermington Curse - Thomas Prideaux. Thomas has experienced severe stress and become irrecoverably damaged following his father's death, the Civil War and the family's loss of fortune. The ghosts of dead soldiers and the mysterious hooded man all conspire to cast a dark shadow over his life.

Book Description
The Complete Prideaux Ghost Stories are weird and unusual tales about 28 generations of the de Pridias, now known as Prideaux, family. My family and my ancestors. Each generation is my blood link from 1011 AD and reaches through my grandfather Clifford who died in 1963, to me. The last story in this collection is about Clifford Prideaux. I haven't yet written about Dorothy, Ann Agnes or Richard Fulke Paganus Prideaux. The stars of my tales lived in the places I write about, walked the lands, which more often than not they owned and played with the people I describe. They took part in great historical events and knew, Kings, Earls, Priors and poets, including Geoffrey Chaucer. They fought in famous wars and sided with well-known individuals and were enemies of others. I have taken liberties with the stories that are told, but surprisingly much of it is - almost true. The prayer exists, the staff belonging to Henry VIII, the books and the documents. John Prideaux was the Bishop of Worcester and I have written about him in far greater detail in The Bishop and The Witch. I do have the cherry pits too, although I am better at growing them than making pies. I see dead people and I have seen the hooded man. The stories can be found in shorter volumes in Cornish Prideaux Ghost Stories, Devon Prideaux Ghost Stories, A Ghost Story, Prideaux Ghost Stories, More Prideaux Ghost Stories, Collected Prideaux Ghost Stories and A Christmas Story.

Book Description
Collected Ghost Stories by M R James is a collection of twenty-two ghost stories, plus a fascinating essay on the writing of ghost stories. Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was a medieval scholar and Provost of King's College, Cambridge. His stories are classics of their genre, understated, beautifully paced and almost never explicit. Their idyllic rural backgrounds and amiable hero make the chilling terror of otherworldly intrusions all the more horrific. The collection is comprised of the following twenty-two stories: The Uncommon Prayer-Book; A Neighbour's Landmark; Rats; The Experiment; The Malice Of Inanimate Objects; A Vignette; Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book; The Stalls Of Barchester Cathedral; An Episode Of Cathedral History; The Story Of A Disappearance And An Appearance; The Haunted Dolls' House; Lost Hearts; Mr. Humphreys And His Inheritance; Martin's Close; The Diary Of Mr. Poynter; The Rose-Garden; Casting The Runes; A School Story; The Tractate Middoth; Two Doctors; A View From A Hill; The Residence At Whitminster; Appendix: M. R. James On Ghost Stories Note: This is not to be confused with the Book ""The Collected Ghost Stories of M R James"" which was published in 1931.
