Will a miser’s heart melt… or be poisoned by the past?
Zachabeezer Crikey—a ruthless London loan shark with a Scrooge-sized heart—buys a crumbling Scottish estate to escape his enemies… only to find new ones waiting in the shadows of
Dubh Artach Castle. With extortionate wages, candlelit offices, and a contempt for kindness, he rules Acharacle like a Victorian tyrant—until ghosts begin to stir.

On a bitter Christmas Eve, Zachabeezer is visited by spirits from his past, present, and a chilling future… but this isn’t just
A Christmas Carol with tartan trim. Beneath the castle lie secret passages, long-buried skeletons, and the vengeful spirit of Anna Campbell, a woman walled alive with her children in 1820. And she’s found the perfect vessel for revenge: his stepson’s fiancée.

Blending
ghostly suspense, Highland gothic atmosphere, and a heartfelt redemption arc, this original holiday tale delivers chills, tears, and a twist no one sees coming—least of all Zachabeezer himself.

Perfect for fans of
Susan Hill, M.R. James, and classic Dickens with a dark Celtic edge, A Ghostly Christmas Carol is a haunting seasonal read that lingers long after the last carol fades.

Don’t just survive the holidays—transform them. One ghost, one gift, one poisoned glass at a time.
