The Jersey Files

The Jersey Files is a spine-tingling collection of spooky short stories, woven from the Island's ancient myths and legends by talented writers from Jersey's schools. With contributions from award-winning author Peter J. Murray, each tale unfolds around the mysterious shores. This collaborative project follows the success of The Darker Side of Wight, a chilling collection of short stories set on the Isle of Wight. Inspired by those tales, schools across Jersey embarked on a creative journey, crafting their own eerie narratives through workshops and guidance from Peter. Haunting illustrations by artist Paul Bryn Davies breathe life into these stories, creating a bewitching collection that captures the Island's rich folklore and otherworldly atmosphere. This collection not only promotes literacy, creativity, and a love of storytelling but also showcases the imaginative power of Jersey's next generation of writers and readers.
