The acclaimed author of The Brow of the Gallowgate presents 20 short stories from across her decades-long career as well as a new novella.
Two men sit petrified on Christmas Eve at the thought of spending it in supernatural company; a young family makes a tense Cross-channel trip in fear of some unspecified threat; an old man contemplates jumping to his death at the thought of being evicted from the house in which he has lived all his life. In these and other tales, Doris Davidson explores moments of desperation in the lives of ordinary people.
Looking back over her successful writing career, Davidson has collected these twenty short stories to pair with her eagerly awaited novella "Duplicity". Together, these stories trace the progression of one of Scotland's best-loved authors and stand as a tribute to her skill and imagination.
