“[Christopher] Fowler repeatedly challenges the reader to redraw the boundaries between innocence and malevolence, rationality and paranoia. His strength lies in the way he unveils the darker side of the ordinary.”—Guardian

A geologist trapped in a town without water is lured into a desperate escape plan. A boy plans a murder in an eerie funfair. A cop witnesses an inexplicable plague of madness. A teenager learns a deadly trick with his cell phone.

Christopher Fowler’s tenth collection of uniquely disturbing short stories contains the blackest humor and the darkest fears.

Christopher Fowler is the author of twelve novels, including the Bryant & May series. He lives in London.

Industry Reviews
Short, sharp shockers: gothic fantasies played out with noughties accessories... these are imaginative, bleak, cautionary tales, which shed their little pools of perverse candlelight on both new and familiar places * Guardian * Laced with unease... reads like a series of Goya aquatints exploring the nastier extremes of human behaviour * Time Out * Pithy morality fables * Dazed & Confused * [Fowler] scores another triumph with his eclectic 10th short story collection... Fans of all genres will be impressed by the 22 well-written, often moving selections. * Publishers Weekly * Dark and dire and fuelled with spiky little twists... Fowler is a master of surprise who ratchets up tension with verve, aplomb and treacly humour * Scotland on Sunday * Brilliant at probing what might happen should seemingly ordinary events go awry... Fowler creates an eerie atmosphere that lingers long in the mind after the last page has been turned * Attitude * Haunting * Aesthetica *
