Description

Spine-chilling tales for dark nights from Celia Fremlin, 'Britain's Patricia Highsmith' (Sunday Times) who is 'Irresistible' (Val McDermid), 'brilliant' (Elly Griffiths), 'a master of suspense' (Janice Hallett), 'packs a punch' (Ian Rankin) and 'got me hooked' (Ruth Rendell)

And then, suddenly, like a great yellow sea-monster rising from the deep, her mother's face lurched upwards, grimacing, contorted . . .

Welcome to Celia Fremlin's nightmare world: from idyllic cottages to cruise ship holidays, seaside weekends to school sports days, nothing is as it seems. Whether a trip to Dead Man's Rock or a reports of flying saucers in suburban gardens, Fremlin reveals the uncanny lurking beneath our everyday lives - revenge, family feuds, murder and ghosts are never far away .
