Out now - Creepy Classics: Haunting Tales for Winter
Journey back in time to Christmases past, from Regency England and Wales, through Reformation Scotland, medieval France, and the fairytale setting of King Arthur’s court, all the way to Iceland in the Viking Age.
Each of these seven short stories and one novella have been inspired by an historical ghost story, taking place during and around the Christmas and New Year’s season. You’ll meet demonic figures, talking dogs, wild hunts, and enchanted knights, until you find yourself spending time at the struggling settlement of Frodiswater in the Viking Age, under siege from revenants and cursed by a mysterious plague. And in each story you’ll meet the people of the past, determined to enjoy their Yuletide celebrations despite the mayhem and tragedy taking place around them.
Praise for Creepy Classics: Ghost Stories from Ancient Rome:
“I love Juliette’s knack for combining bizarre facts and obviously well researched history with a satisfyingly fictional story-telling note.”
— Dora Bona
“Not only does the author retell the stories in a fun way but she gives you all the historical background at the end.”
— Caroline Lawrence, author of best-selling series The Roman Mysteries

About Me
I write ghost stories - no matter what genre I try to write in, somehow I always end up writing a ghost story! I’m a professional historian (Senior Lecturer in History at a small British university) and I have a PhD in Classics. I’ve branched out into writing historical and contemporary fiction sets in lots of different times and places, but I always feel a warm glow any time I come back to my beloved ancient Romans!
