Inhaltsangabe

All alone in wild, remote places… obsessively pursuing their quarry in the fading light… is it any wonder so many anglers claim to have witnessed ghosts?

In a change from the usual haunted houses and gothic go-to’s, these original tales of tragedy, redemption and the unexpected feature a variety of watery realms, including a Highland river, an Irish lough, a North American wilderness, a Cornish seascape, long-lost carp lakes, and a Ukrainian water source with magical properties.

But you don’t have to be an angler to appreciate these tales of tragedy, redemption and the unexpected.

There are echoes of real history thrown in for good measure, including the English Civil War, the Second World War and even a Victorian serial killer. So prepare for some chills at the water’s edge… and beyond it.
