The Woman in the Park by Lucy Edmiston

A ghost story for Christmas.


Mary, a new mother in a new town, seeks solace in her local park. But who is the strange woman who mirrors her lonely walks? As the winter sets in, Mary gradually begins to question her marriage, her sanity, and the hidden connections between her past and this unsettling figure in the snow.



Lucy Edmiston is a writer and poet based in Manchester. Her short story 'Mothers and Daughters' was longlisted for the 2024 Motherhood Uncensored Writing Competition and is due for publication in the accompanying collection this winter. She is currently working on a haiku project.
