When young cad Finlay Saunders spurns the wrong lover, he is murdered, his soul now tied to the place where his life ended. Though the building changes over the years, Finlay’s haunting of the living becomes so bad, that a priest is called in, trapping him in the wall of his ‘death room’.
Ninety-three years later, Finlay’s room is unwittingly reopened, and given to a twenty year old boy suffering from depression. His negative energy feeds Finlay's soul, and as soon as the first crackle of blaring rock music fills the room, his ghost is free once again to wreak havoc upon the living.

'The Haunted Pub' is set in Brighton, England.
Inside a typical (1930s built) Brighton pub...
My basic premise for the story was a pub run by hot rocker-type men, some of whom are gay, or have gay leanings, and then for a brash, kinky ghost to ‘wake up’ and start to play with them.
Yes, my ghost is a naughty, naughty boy. (That’s how he got himself murdered, after all.) Now his spirit is awake, hungry for energy, and he finds negative energy in abundance among the occupants. First, there’s the depressed emo kid, Fizz, who has a coming-of-age development when he meets and falls for Ash, a half Indian boy who sings in Ryan’s band.
Ryan, one of the long term bar staff, is desperately in love with Ginger, the gorgeous assistant manager who looks like a glam rocker. Then there’s Matt, the shy and cranky, heavy-metal loving chef, who seems to be locked in a bickering war with Sammy, another young bartender who's out and proud, and goads Matt whenever possible.
In terms of charged energy, the pub is a veritable melting pot for a naughty spirit!
There were so many colourful characters that burst to life in this story, but I have to admit my favourites are Ryan and Ginger. Ryan would be too modest to admit it, but he’s really the glue that holds the pub family together. He puts everyone’s needs before his own, and as a result he’s always been too afraid to admit his feelings for Ginger.
Since the ghost moved in, however, things keep conspiring against Ryan.
