Short Stories of Ghosts and Graves: RWR Anthology

Front Cover

Haunting stories that will linger long after the lights are turned out, this collection of spine-chillers includes a mix of seasoned authors with emerging talent.


Stories include classic style ghost tales and contemporary imaginings. All authors are past and present writers from our annual Rainforest Writing Retreat, a three day retreat set in the beautiful O'Reilly's Rainforest with intense masterclasses by industry professionals. Twenty-five stories best enjoyed late at night in a creaking old house, or, you know, on the train on your way to work. You'll meet spirits with unfinished business, lost love and sometimes... a taste for blood. There's even a true ghost story included!


Read them in snippets, or stay up all night and devour them all... if you dare.
