'A ghostly goat; the strange inmates of a country nursing home; the oddly dressed inhabitants of an unusual village; the vengeful guardian of a family horoscope; the evil possessing a church carving; the horror of a visit to a stately home: these are some of the themes running through A Natural Body and a Spiritual Body, J. S. Leatherbarrow's collection of ghost stories, first published privately in 1983' (www.amazon.com).
