Description
This is the expanded edition of Trevor Denyer's highly praised short story collection, covering the horror and dark fantasy spectrum. Some of the praise for the original trade paperback:
"Poignant, atmospheric and immensely satisfying.” - Terry Grimwood
.
"People are haunted by memories of the past and premonitions of the future as Trevor Denyer’s finely-crafted prose invokes captivating images of poignancy." - Gareth Jones
"Enjoy this unexpected bonus, a baker's dozen of memorable tales." - Allen Ashley
"Denyer understands the subtle secret (too well kept) that the purpose of words is to communicate, never to decorate. These stories each go like sharp arrows to the targets of their messages, evoking the mystery, sadness, wonder and fear of all our lives. Life is short they seem to tell us, good fortune and health tenuous, but the sheer beauty of the journey, though interwoven with horror, always wins out in the end and makes existence worthwhile." - Douglas Thompson
