The Apparition Phase by Will Maclean
5.0
A really great British ghost story, set in the 1970s. This book has all the stylings of MR James at his best but with a very modern pace, informed by decades of horror thrillers. As a kid born in the 70s there was plenty here that was still true for me either in the TV shows we watched or around me generally that rang a lot of bells so that maybe helped to add to the atmosphere, but I think anyone who enjoys a classic type of supernatural tale will be drawn in by this. It is similar in feel to The Loney but I think slightly better in terms of pacing.
