Fifteen brilliant writers evoke uniquely haunted characters; from the waxwork maker in Victorian Whitechapel who receives help from a terrifying source, to the lawyer who once met two schoolboys on the beach, and finds them still there twenty five years later; from a doomed puppeteer performing his last show in a mysterious village to a little girl eternally waiting for a missing fire engine. What Haunts the Heart weaves together stories of lost love, regret, bad decisions, madness, secrets, obsession and redemption. Some people are haunted by what is in their own heads ... And some are haunted by ghosts.

The writers include Graham Joyce, Ray Robinson, Emma J. Lannie, Annabel Banks, William Gallagher, Brian Ennis, Richard Farren Barber, Liz Kershaw, Pascale Presumey, Fiona Joseph, Reen Jones, J. T. Seate, Fran Hill, Scotty Clarke and Tom Johnstone.
