Ten strange stories from a modern master story-teller, Reggie Oliver’s impressive tales range from an archaeological dig on an island in the Mediterranean, to seventeenth century Milan. With a wide range of eminently authentic characters, Oliver insinuates strangeness into the lives of his unwary protagonists and the results vary from a profound chill to outright horror.

As Publishers Weekly wrote of a previous collection by Reggie Oliver, his work is for, ‘Readers who like their horrors subtle but unsettling.’
