'The glowing ashes turned again and again and then, from the centre, there arose a small entity, a little shape of fire...' A teenage girl disappears mysteriously a few days before bonfire night; two youths out skating see something grisly beneath the ice; an elderly spinster feeds her young charge to the eels...In these five supernatural tales, the spirits of the dead seek to exact a terrifying revenge on those who have wronged them.
