The cover of Haunted Places, edited by Jamie Ferguson. A mist-filled, shadowy forest with black, leafless trees stretches across the background. The ground is carpeted in vivid crimson leaves. The title floats in large white letters at the center of the mist. The back cover features a lyrical description of ghostly tales of memory, love, and haunting, framed by the dark, atmospheric landscape.

Some places never let you go. Others never let go of you.

From train platforms to ancestral homes, haunted houses to haunted mirrors, the spaces in Haunted Places are shaped by memory, loss, longing—and something else that lingers just out of sight.

This second volume in the Haunted anthology series features fourteen speculative fiction stories that explore the emotional resonance of place-based hauntings. Drawing on folklore, myth, and quiet magic, each tale invites you to cross a threshold where the past presses against the present—and not every ghost is what it seems.
