Synopsis ~
An Antiquarian bookseller takes a sinister
interest in a schoolboy who visits his shop; A pair of twins, hardly old enough
to walk, strike deadly terror into anyone who sees them; A young girl who died
for love finds being a ghost much too enjoyable to give up. This assortment of
ghost stories is eerie, touching or funny, and never quite what you would
expect.
