The supernatural is lying in wait for you.
They brought death upon themselves. Find them where you may and bury them where you will.
People seem to do such unimportant things in Robert Westall’s collection of short stories: have an uncle to stay; play truant; fall in love on the dole; do a Telephone Samaritan duty on Christmas Eve . . . Yet somehow it’s enough to summon the supernatural into their lives.
This is an exceptional collection by a master story teller, blending horror, suspense, humour and sheer pace.
