The stories in this haunting collection are as ancient and recent, powerful and fantastical, real and imaginary as the ghosts of myth and legend they feature. Here you will find chilling tales of long-dead Vikings, stirred by the darkness of an eclipse; a wild forest with a wicked secret in its roots; the feared cross on Gallows Hill; a restless Grey Lady forever searching for her revenge; and the killing of a dead man. Read about phantom highwaymen; dastardly smugglers; mysterious pasts; foul murders and one-eyed strangers, all twisted into Essex’s history and brought to life by noted storyteller Robert Hallmann. Richly illustrated with original drawings, these spine-tingling stories interweave fact and fiction to create perfect tales for reading under the covers on stormy nights.

The terrible tragedy of the Great Flood of 1880! The incredible histories of Hylands House and Beaulieu! Nazi bombers over Chelmsford! Chelmsford has one of the darkest histories on record.

Canvey Island, an island in the River Thames estuary off the coast of Essex, has a unique history. Its location has seen it welcome diverse people through the ages: from those who first came to harvest the seawater salt, to the Romans and traders who found it an entry point into the British Isles, to shepherds, cheese makers, and many others. Customer reviews:'Robert has done a wonderful job including covering areas not found in other publications on Canvey Island's history. A 'can't put down' book!' - 9 June 2007, Dave Bullock, Prittlewell, Essex 'This is an excellent book depicting Canvey's past, well written and informative, a must for any local or historian.' - 27 March 2009, R Shinn, Essex 'This book outlines the true history of Canvey. I found it to be a fascinating journey through many hundreds of years. It has been thoroughly researched by the author. Many pictures I have never seen before, together with a little bit of the author's humour. It is a definite must for both Canveyites and expats alike.' - Councillor Joan Liddiard, Canvey Island, Essex
