The Carnacki Institute is all about ghosts – or at least, keeping them under control.
Their latest assignment sees JC and the team sent to a small country village, site of a famously haunted inn. At first, JC thinks that the spirits in the King’s Arms are more the stuff of urban legend than anything that needs the Ghost Finders’ expertise. But one story rings true: the tale of a traveller trapped in the inn by an unusual thunderstorm. She retired to her room for the night – and vanished.
Trapped by an unusual thunderstorm – like the one that begins raging outside shortly after they arrive . . .
As the team investigates, they are forced, one by one, to face some hard truths about themselves, their relationships and the haunting itself – truths that may push Happy Jack over the edge into the madness he has always feared . . .
Spirits from Beyond is the fourth title in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s Ghost Finders series.

Thoroughly entertaining
His ability to blend chillingly creepy descriptions and emotionally wrenching details with arch humour makes this particularly memorable - and thoroughly eerie . . . The final scenes are particularly epic, jarring and bittersweet in a way that only Green can craft
As good as Green's Nightside and the Secret Histories sagas
It continually amazes me how Green can pump out such original stories
He's a clever, clever writer . . . you can see the glee just dripping off the page . . . as something to amuse yourself with on a rainy Sunday, or to cleanse your palate after something a little more serious, you can do worse. Make yourself a big bowl of popcorn, put up your feet, and go adventuring with JC, Melody and Happy. Have a little fun
Green keeps the action and laughs flowing in equal measure. Here's hoping for many more adventures of this terrific quartet
Skirmishes and plot twists rule as Green serves up enough blood and viscera to slake the thirst of any thriller aficionado. Readers will appreciate the camaraderie and snappy dialogue of what is sure to become Britain's favourite ghost hunters
Plenty of witty banter and snappy dialogue . . . A lovely blend of popcorn adventure and atmospheric thriller
Steampunk fans will eat their heart out: Victorian villains, steam trains, ghosts, steampunk science, mediums and all manner of creepy befitting the genre without being genre in itself, just as we've come to expect and love from Mr Green
A fun mystery, heavy on the horror element and kept me entertained throughout
