"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Two Ghost Stories by James Hume Nisbet

I got a rejection from an agent I didn’t remember querying and that was weird, so that’s why I’ve decided to take a break from the querying process and undergo a new revision, possibly incorporating some of the constructive feedback I got from a couple of tailored rejections.

Meanwhile, here’s your due eBook and it contains two short stories by James Hume Nisbet: “The Demon Spell”, which is actually a Christmas story, and “A Face at the Window”. The latter is also published in the body of the post for people in the lower tier.

To the best of my knowledge, the text has never been digitised before.

Enjoy it on my Patreon!
