“Book Descriptions: Sarob Press is truly delighted to present a new collection of twelve dark and spectral tales by International Horror Guild and Shirley Jackson Award winning author Steve Duffy. Steve’s previously published collections, The Night Comes On, The Five Quarters (with Ian Rodwell), Tragic Life Stories and The Moment of Panic, were very well received and are all long sold out. Ghosts, werewolves, and some things possibly even more terrible, strange premonitions, and even stranger haunted locations and weird and mysterious secrets ...
... a curious visitor to a London art gallery and a most unusual offer
... a seaside holiday where the past intrudes upon the present with alarming and quite horrifying consequences
... a dream-like European hotel for those with fond and vivid memories of better and more peaceful times
... a seemingly ordinary warehouse where the secret things and strange desires stored within are far, far from ordinary
... and 8 other superlative tales set in London, in Eastern Europe, the Wild West of America, the North Wales coast and more.
