Opis

Seven short stories with no overarching theme but with a slant toward the unexpected. "True Colours" -A petty criminal owes money to the local crime baron and is living in fear. Could a mysterious caller offer him a way out, or is he simply bringing a different - and much worse - kind of trouble? "Don't Forget Maggie" - Two wartime schoolgirls help one another in the aftermath of an air-raid. Will they both survive? "The Witch's Stone" - History comes alive when a young couple make their new home in a very old house. "A Streetlight Named Desire" - A new streetlight causes mayhem in this tale of love, light and the neighbourhood watch, which was written in homage to Tom Sharpe. "Spiders" - An arachnophobe goes deep into enemy territory. "A Woman Reflects" - It's an odd thing; how the police can make even an innocent person feel nervous and guilty, or is innocence simply a matter of perspective? "The Library at Saint Pelice" - A Victorian academic's studies take an unexpected and dangerous turn when he visits the eponymous French abbey in this homage to the ghost stories of M. R. James.
