Praise for HAUNTINGS
'Susan Price understands well that the ghost story form may be used to move readers and question their prejudices about the nature of appearance, as well as to frighten delightfully. She never settles for cheap effects and writes beautifully of relationships between young and old.' The Daily Telegraph.
'This collection... has a depth of emotion that is at times disturbing.' Magpie, 1998
