Autorenporträt
Susan Price is an award-winning writer from the grey, wet, chilly, ghost-packed country of England. She grew up listening to 'true' family ghost stories, has heard inexplicable footsteps wandering about her house at night, has heard music and singing in an empty, ancient church - and yet, despite it all, still struggles to be a sceptical and hard-headed citizen of the 21st century.
