Kiwi cockroaches

This is an extract from the Wanganui chronicle,  New Zealand. The article written by laurel.stowell@wanganuichronicle.co.nz
Reports on the increased numbers of creepy crawlies due to the hot weather...  Less likely here in England (snow, cold etc)

One of the reasons why I fear and hate cockroaches that pushed me into writing 'Phobic Wars "

Wanganui East and Springvale houses are especially likely to have Gisborne cockroaches, which like to live in cracks and crannies and come indoors in winter. They sometimes arrive in junk mail, because it is distributed from a property with a lot of the cockroaches nearby.

People don't like Gisborne cockroaches because they look scary - but they don't spread disease like American cockroaches.

Also on the undesirable list are bedbugs, blood-sucking parasites that move to new places on people, in clothing and in luggage.

International hospital hauntings

As a British writer with aspirations of an international readership,  I have tried to write less specifically to British slants and make it international.
Phantasms in the Infirmary Amazon is intended to provide the international reader a ghostly ride.
The short stories within are not specifically designed for any country in particular.
The fictional hospital could be any hospital in any city in any country in the world.
By doing this it enables the reader to transport themselves into the corridors and wards of the hospital and re-live the tales.
Doctor, nurse,  patient or other,  if you have been in a hospital,  anywhere,  you can relate to the hauntings.

Help makepPhantasms in the Infirmary a big hit in 2015. 

Please share with your circles and when read, enjoy and please leave a  review

Haunted hospital horror

For all those who work in hospitals or ever have done, you will be familiar with haunted corridors, wards and spectral shenanigans.

Even if you are not a nurse, doctor or hospital staff, this anthology of ghostly tales is just what you need.
This is a work of horror fiction. It is a collection of ghostly short commentaries and ghoulish encounters, that occur in a fictitious hospital.
All assured to send shivers down your spine.
They are based on tales that have been shared by many hospital staff over many years of work in healthcare. They have been meticulously developed into the tales contained within this compendium of scary fantasies.

The sightings, strange sounds and sinister goings on of the spectral activity retold in this book are based on true experiences, that have become local folklore in many hospitals. The presence of those that have “unfinished business”, gripes or other reasons for not wanting to pass on, preferring to linger in the realm between life and death. Those that are not alive, but then again are not completely gone. They linger, hanging on to this mortal coil for their own reasons in whatever way they can. Not ready to let go, their affairs left incomplete for whatever the reason may be. Their presence remains, not always a peaceful one.

These myths take place in hospital, buildings that have been constructed to heal the sick and injured. However they are also edifices that have seen a lot of deaths. This collection is intended to relate some of the more memorable legends. Ghostly nuns, haunted wards and supernatural spectres... If you like to be spooked, this is the book for you.
