Synopsis

In lonely rivers, mist-covered lakes and quiet fishing ponds, strange things sometimes stir beneath the surface...

Following the success of Peter Wise’s first book, Disturbing the Water, this latest collection features 13 brand new original ghost stories. Set across the UK and elsewhere, locations include Highland rivers, a village pond, a Balkans moat and a Cambodian lake that breathes. Each story is accompanied by a full-page illustration by renowned wildlife artist Simon Trinder.

Like its predecessor, it includes tales of tragedy, redemption and the unexpected, plus touches of real history. Many of the protagonists are anglers, but you emphatically don't have to be an angler to enjoy these tales of tragedy, redemption and the unexpected. This is more unsettling than in-your-face horror, but if you like MR James, Robert Aickman or Roald Dahl, you'll love these dark stories and tales with a twist.

So prepare for some fresh chills from the water’s edge – and beyond it!

Praise for Chilling the Water

“Peter Wise is a wonderfully paced writer, each story moves along effortlessly; the page turning increases as does the heart rate." – Fallon's Angler magazine

"A fun, diverse collection with stories ranging from lightly spooky to truly chilling, and all of them were enjoyable!"
CharlieReads, Bookstagram USA

“"Another belting assortment of grisly, ghostly and mysterious tales featuring a gallery of dastardly and downright dodgy characters."
Angling Times (2025 Fireside Fishing Reads of the Year)

“What makes these yarns so appealing is that they contain settings and events that readers can relate to… Wise’s stories have pace, mystery and original twists, as well as being almost credible…even if you’re a little bit sceptical about things that go bump in the night, you’ll enjoy the originality of these stories, the more so that they contain a line to another world in more ways than one.”
Keith Elliott, Classic Angling
