Sinopsis

A Town of Ghosts is a collection of 19 original illustrated ghost stories set in the Buckinghamshire town of Stony Stratford in Milton Keynes. The stories are loosely inspired by the history, characters and landscape of the town; most have an element of dark humour, though several nod towards the cryptic, brooding tales of the great ghost story writer MR James. You will meet a host of bizarre and macabre characters such as the resentful decomposing corpse of Thomas Farrar residing at the bottom of ancient well in a coffee shop. Look out for Death rebranded and pushing a dust cart around the streets, gathering souls and finally meeting his match! As a compliment to the film Bladerunner there's even a futuristic tale of malicious robots plotting the downfall of their creators. The final story is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to present the author and illustrator as two decrepit characters seeking to complete an unfinished literary work! As a former archaeologist the author tries to weave an archaeological perspective into some of the stories, suggesting that change is not always progressive. Spooky but fun!

    Some scents linger far beyond the body… straight into the soul. 
    In the narrow bylanes of an old town, the air carries an unusual fragrance—sweet, musky, ancient. It comes from a small, forgotten shop, where an old man sells attar that no one remembers buying... but everyone who smells it, changes. 
    When Prashant, a mild-mannered government employee, follows the strange scent one evening, he disappears without a trace—only to return five days later, strangely quiet, eyes hollow, and mind blank. What begins as a curious case of memory loss turns into a slow spiral into terror as his family notices the subtle shifts: the way mirrors fog around him, how dogs growl in his presence, and how the scent of attar never leaves his skin. 
    As dreams bleed into waking life and whispers echo in locked rooms, one question hangs in the air like perfume: 
    What did Prashant inhale that night… and what part of him never came back? 
    A haunting blend of psychological dread and supernatural mystery, Smell of Souls will make you question what's real, what's remembered, and what's left behind.
