Summary

From the author of 'The American Boy' and 'The Ashes of London' comes a collection of three gothic novellas - 'Broken Voices', 'The Leper House' and 'The Scratch'. In 'Broken Voices', two schoolboys concoct a plan to discover if the eerie stories about a nearby cathedral are true. But the cathedral is filled with hidden dangers, and curiosity can prove fatal. In 'The Leper House', a man's car breaks down on a stormy night. The only source of light comes from a remote cottage. He returns the next day but the cottage is nowhere to be seen. In 'The Scratch', Clare and Gerald live a perfect life, until their nephew comes to stay. Jack has seen active service in Afghanistan. The experience has left him outwardly untouched, but for a scratch that won't heal
