Some people believe firmly that there is more to this world than is always apparent to the naked eye; that there is indeed another dimension than our everyday experience would suggest. Some are skeptical - but don't take any chances - while others dismiss such a concept as superstitious nonsense. This collection of stories will intrigue the believers and - we hope - entertain the skeptics.

Authors Grant Shanks and Tahu Potiki gathered the stories in their first book, Where No Birds Sing, from a wide variety of people from all walks of life. After its publication they discovered that every other person, it seemed, also had a story to tell: they received many letters, faxes and e-mails from readers wanting to tell their own tails, such id the universal fascination with the supernatural. From these reader contributions and other sources they have gathered together the collection that has become When the Wind Calls Your Name.

The stories range from gentle little tales of friendly ghosts, such as The Woman in Green, to truly frightening experiences like The Ouija Board. It includes many instances of people, both Maori and Pakeha, who have experienced at first hand the power or tapu. All have in common the protagonist's firm belief that, at the time, they really did experience something they could not explain in rational, everyday terms.

Once again, this book attempts to capture that moment just before doubt sets in.
