Very atmospheric and engrossing book. Ghost stories are not my usual fare, but this one has a hauntingly mesmerising style which kept me reading page after page, as the scenes moved between Australia and England. It's thrilling, funny, and the stories interspersed in the narrative are also very good. Normally I am impatient with stories within a story, but these stories flowed well with the bigger story and are cleverly intertwined. On a side note, I could relate to the protagonist's experiences with ubiquitous millipedes in his Australian country life!
