Overview

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. 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.

'Wise has managed to create a delightfully creepy, yet mindfully enthralling bundle of stories. Each one stands alone as a tantalising peek into other times and places where everything is not quite as it seems.' - Chris Coppel, author of 'Lingering', 'Lunacy' and 'Last Light'
