A Ghostly Gang Short Story Collection
Collection of Short Stories that I wrote that involves my original characters from The Ghostly Gang, which is my original creation and character. The picture on the top of this is my art and is of the twins. The story 'The Forgotten Park'-came about from catching the bus to work one morning in the middle of winter just before the sun came up and the mists were rising from the ground and the bus went past one of those parks that every suburb or city seems to have but generally lay forgotten. The others are just random short stories I've written about the Gang. I'll mark this is as complete for now as I haven't written a lot more short stories (mainly some longer ones) about the gang in recent years. Please feel free to comment or vote as I would really love some feedback
