Перевод: Роман ужасов — это фантастический мир призраков и чудовищ. Конечно, эти истории ненастоящие… или всё-таки настоящие? Каллум Колдер пишет истории о призраках, и его книги продаются тысячами экземпляров. Но Каллум также охотник за привидениями, и все свои бестселлеры он основывает на реальном опыте посещения настоящих домов с привидениями. Каково это — быть охотником за привидениями и писателем? Каллум считает, что писательство — такая же работа, как и любая другая, поэтому он любит порядок. После завтрака он поднимается на чердак, где у него есть крошечный кабинет. Здесь он создаёт свои жуткие истории. Обычно он пишет четыре часа, перекусывает сэндвичем, а затем возвращается и пишет ещё четыре часа. «Я всегда заканчиваю в пять часов». «Восемь часов писательства в день — это достаточно», — говорит он. Так он работает с понедельника по пятницу, но самое интересное — то, чем он занимается по выходным. «Выходные предназначены для расследования случаев с привидениями. Я провожу ночи в домах с привидениями по всей стране. Я беру камеры и диктофоны, а также много другого оборудования. Иногда запись показывает то, что мы не заметили. Я нахожу идеи, разговаривая со свидетелями. Они рассказывают мне историю, связанную с призраками. Я довольно творческий человек, поэтому это быстро превращается в идею для новой книги». Но существуют ли призраки на самом деле? Каллум уверен, что да. «Каждый раз, когда я захожу в дом с привидениями, у меня возникает ощущение, что там что-то есть. Призраки не пытаются причинить нам вред — они просто пытаются общаться». Но что же они пытаются нам сказать? — говорит Каллум. — «Когда я это выясню, эта книга станет моей лучшей!»

Перевод предложений: A — Здесь он создаёт свои жуткие истории. B — Но что же они пытаются нам сказать? C — «Восемь часов писательства в день — это достаточно», — говорит он. D — Каллум думает, что призраки боятся нас больше, чем мы их. E — Я нахожу идеи, разговаривая со свидетелями. F — Я провожу ночи в домах с привидениями по всей стране.
