Can Miranda trust her hypnotist ? Can a family avoid being split by the paranoia of one ? Can an unexpected romance survive ? There is a sense of 'presence' of ghosts, but the 'Cupboard of Skeletons' houses people with dark secrets which haunt and test their lives, those who challenge fate and, against all odds, can find something of their dreams.
The stories reflect a whole spectrum of emotions ; from tenderness to private anguish, from outward normality to the inwardly dysfunctional and the endangered relationship. But always - at the core - the themes reach out to those left lonely within a crowd; they alone who know that, for the moment, their brave face is a veil.
Raymond Nickford has a degree in Psychology and Philosophy from University College of North Wales. Troubled souls, the lonely, his inspiration.
Some of the themes :
Psychological suspense, dysfunctional relationships, love, tenderness, atmospheric, ghosts, literary fiction.

Family Tree: Stories of Love Beyond the Grave
The stuttering and already deeply anxious teenager, Eddy, is grieving for his mother, her decomposing body found entangled in fungus-laden roots of the ancient yew on the cemetery side of the Glossop family's garden fence. At nights, could Eddy really "hear" the tree "speaking" to him of his mother, beckoning him to sneak out, down the garden, then climb over the family fence, to the cemetery side? Or was the verdict as his father had told him, simply death by misadventure, as the autopsy stated?
Mister Kreasey's Demon
