The Photograph Rule — A Ghost Story (Illustrated Ebook PDF)
£4.99
Skip to product information
There were three rules in my grandmother's house and only one of them was strange.
You never take a photograph of a person who is sleeping. Nobody ever explained why. Every family has a rule like that — a shape in the furniture you learn to walk around without examining.
Then Nan dies, and Daniel goes north two days early to start clearing the house, and under the winter blankets at the bottom of her wardrobe he finds an album wrapped in a pillowcase.
One hundred and forty-one photographs. Every one of them a sleeping person. Every one of them family, going back to 1911. All taken from the doorway.
And loose against the inside of the back cover, a photograph of him — asleep, last night, in a house where he was alone with the chain on the door.
A ghost story. 25 pages, eleven chapters, roughly a forty-minute read.
Properly typeset as a book — justified serif text, chapter openings, running heads and page numbers, on aged paper. Delivered as a PDF you can read on any phone, tablet, e-reader or laptop, or print if you'd rather hold it.
Best read late, and not immediately before bed.
