Where to buy
A time-traveling senior citizen. A ghostly eighteenth-century dandy. A hippie with a genie. A famous bon vivant with vampire trouble. All these and more await you in this pageant of paranormal short stories set in locations around the world from Shakespeare's time to the present day.
Within these pages are fifteen captivating tales that promise to amuse, entertain, and perhaps send a thrilling shiver down your spine. But a friendly warning: These tales may cause late-night reading, skeptical side-eyeing, and the occasional glance over your shoulder!
Rest assured, however, that virtue prevails and evil is punished. Well, mostly.
Reviews
Goodreads
A Supernatural Shindig is a collection of short stories all crafted by Gianetta Murray, a writer I have not encountered before.
I’m very pleased to be able to say that Ms Murray appears to be having as much fun writing short stories as I do. Every single one of the tales in this book is a little masterpiece all of its own. We have ghosts and vampires, ghouls and zombies all wrapped up with a sharpness of wit that had me chuckling my way through the pages until the very last one. So, I suppose it is quite fitting that this review is appearing for the first time today – the thirteenth! A number that is generally regarded as suspicious.
There are fifteen little tales in this volume, and I’m confident that they will appeal to all readers, no matter what each reader’s usual and preferred genre of fiction. Each story is unique in its setting, characters, and plot line. They are cleverly put together, and the flow of the stories, from gentle wit to darker tales at the end, provides a logical progression through the book as a whole. I can thoroughly recommend this selection of stories.
I understand this writer also has a novel that will be published in June 2024. I will be looking out for that. I hope she goes on to write yet more short stories, too.
