They all are ready to lay their lives on the line for Charlotte and her cause. Charlotte and her little gang live secret lives and are involved in many activities. These activities have placed her and her long time best friend, Niki, in some dangerous and somewhat criminal dilemmas. They eventually find themselves surrounded and supported by a secret organization. Being very intelligent, Charlotte is in many professions unknown to friends and family, except for her father and the little gang that assists her. She becomes very irritated if considered a genius or anything other than an ordinary twelve-year-old girl. Eventually, Charlotte reveals one of her major secret activity to her lawyer and vaguely confirms the secret to two of her best friends who have already figured it out.

From the moment I drowned in the lake of secrets, I knew things would never be the same. All I’d wanted for my eighteenth birthday was a kiss and a summer to be remembered before heading off for college. What I got was so much more. I wasn’t just trapped in a cabin at the lake with a group of my rowdiest friends; I was trapped in another dimension. A dark one, where dreams manifest before your very eyes, fears are conjured in the cool mist, and the dead are living by our sides. One thing I was certain of, the only way out . . . is in.

Ghost stories reached the height of popularity in the late nineteenth century. As the nights draw in, close the curtains and relish this collection of the very best spine-tingling ghost stories from the masters of the genre. Many of the contributors are amongst the most famous writers in the English language led by the master of the genre, M. R. James. What all the stories have in common is that they give the reader a delicious sense of terror but in different ways. Rudyard Kipling in ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ and Charles Dickens in ‘The Signalman’ expertly twist their protagonists’ emotions, creating fear and dread. Mary Elizabeth Braddon and E. Nesbit aim for downright terror in their tales ‘The Shadow in the Corner’ and ‘Man-Size in Marble’ and there’s even room for some spooky humour with Saki’s tale, ‘Laura’. With tales of revenge, supernatural malevolence and ghostly goings on, this anthology is full of expertly crafted and terrifying ghost stories. Dracula, Frankenstein and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are also available in this series of gorgeous pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmillan Collector's Library which celebrates the very best Gothic and horror literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.
