The main theme of this entirely original and fascinating collection of ten tales is encounter with the bizarre and unexpected and it is good, old-fashioned spooky. Times and locations vary but always there is lurking somebody, or something, that will alter, confound or terrify, and perhaps worse. When you think you are safe, the enemy, the manifestation, the horror may be around the corner, in the grave or in another world. But it awaits and when it emerges – beware.
