Agnes of Grimstone Peverell

A Satirical Ghost Story

It’s strange what you can miss if you don’t care to look. You really should, you know; you ought to keep your wits about you, lest someone step forth from the shadows and give you a fright. I speak from experience, believe me.

One bitterly cold December morning, snobbish theatre critic Lionel Smallwood and his wife Frances find themselves enjoying the wares of the Victorian Christmas market in the Dorset town of Grimstone Peverell. Chilled to the marrow, they retire to the town’s minster where they are accosted by a pious and enthusiastic guide. Eager to acquaint them with every aspect of its history, she seems reluctant to let them go, but return to London they must – Lionel has a play to review. That, at least, is his intention.
