“Graham Masterton is one of the most underrated British authors – this is one of my favourite books. Spirit is a real old- fashioned ghost story that does give you the shivers and thinking you glimpsed something out of the corner of your eye. I’ve become a bit jaded with novels that get touted as spooky - and just turn out to be a big fat collection of clichés. I’ve read this book many times and it really is everything a modern ghost story should be.

Little Peggy loves the story of The Snow Queen which her two sisters Laura and Elizabeth like to read to her. While still very young, Peggy drowns in the family pool; the loss of the child has devastating and far reaching consequences for the whole family. Peggy never really leaves her beloved sisters and parents and terrible things start happening to people associated with Laura and Elizabeth.

“I tend to be a bit disappointed by Graham's works. While they're good, I think they're lacking in greatness. I don't like the cheesy explanations for the hauntings, although I understand he's trying to be original. ”

“Sad and scary. I used to love reading the Snow Queen when I was a kid. Loved the fairy tale and I loved the way Graham Masterton used it in this spine chilling story. I live in a warm country but at times I almost felt cold reading this. ”

Blurb:
When little Peggy Buchanan drowns in the icy waters of the family swimming pool, her sisters, Elizabeth and Laura, find their lives changed for ever.
Peggy may be dead - but she hasn't left them.
As the sisters grow up, a string of inexplicable deaths baffle police and medics alike. No matter how warm the weather, each corpse suffers severe frostbite. And each victim's dying moments are tortured by a merciless small girl in a white dress, whose icy kiss is colder than death.
The deeper Elizabeth delves, the more she fears that the girl is Peggy, hideously recreated through their childhood story, The Snow Queen. And unless the nightmare can be halted, Peggy will destroy everyone close to them.”
