Description
Stop Press: 'Death Becomes Her' was shortlisted for the Crime Writers Association Short Story Daggers.
Nothing says Christmas more than a good old fashioned ghost story on a dark winter's night, so sit back and enjoy a little pinch of Yuletide mayhem.
These extraordinary tales, one for each day of Christmas, explore the odd, the peculiar and the downright chilling, from a Strange encounter with an Icelandic Shaman, to a psychic policewoman, lively winged beasts and warnings from the recently departed.
Some of these stories appeared in the ebook The Strange Casebook, 2018.
Advance Praise
'This is a great collection of seasonal stories just right to be popped into a Christmas stocking. Recommended.' Mystery People
Praise for Syd Moore:
‘Strange Magic is that rarest of things: a book which sets out unashamedly to entertain, and does so with wit, style, and erudition. I gleefully submitted to a tale of witchcraft, feminism, mysterious strangers, historical atrocities, plucky heroines and ghastly apparitions – and came away more proud than ever to be an Essex girl.’ Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent and Melmoth
'A fun and thrilling read, one hugely impressive element is that Moore uses her light tone and intricate character relationships to address some serious points - ranging from people trafficking through to the derogatory stereotype of the Essex Girl. Lead character Rosie Strange is a woman to be admired with her ballsy, no-nonsense attitude, excellent boots and compelling family history. I can't wait to see more of Rosie, Sam and the Essex Witch museum in the future.' Cathi Unsworth, author of Weirdo
‘Dennis Wheatley meets Caitlin Moran.’ Starburst 'The Strange novels are a breath of fresh air for fans of supernatural mysteries...all fantastic books...I can’t recommend them highly enough' Paranormal Underground

I haven’t read anything else by this author yet so I guess I missed some of the references to established characters but a couple of the stories gave me a taste of the Strange series and I’ll give it a try, it looks right up my alley.
The other stories range from darkly funny to disturbingly weird, a good mix and a very enjoyable read. Most of them don’t really have that much to do with Christmas, but it’s a great collection for a cold and rainy winter evening.
Kel M, Reviewer
A great selection of short stories full of ghosts and spirits that I have loved reading in the lead up to Christmas.
The stories all held a little something different and the more I read the more I wanted to keep reading to see where my imagination would take me next.
I love a good short story as you dive straight in and you never know what is going to come next and nothing beats a good ghost story this time of year.
