The shadow of an old man drags clanking chains through an ancient house, and a werewolf howls in the night. Through Imperial palaces echo the screams of long-dead Emperors, while the spirits of those they've hurt seek vengeance from beyond the grave. And in the middle of it all, Tranio the slave just wants a peaceful life and a way to cover up his young master's wild parties.Every tale in this collection of thirteen short stories has been inspired by an ancient Roman ghost story. There are scary stories, sad stories, gory stories, and funny stories. But most of all, you will find spooky stories, that have been making the hair stand up on the backs of people's necks for two thousand years and counting.
