Product Description

Review

Dyson's timing is perfect as a Swiss watch. When he wants you to laugh, it's wonderful. When he wants you to be afraid, my God, you'll think twice about turning out the light.
--Steven Hall, author of 'The Raw Shark Texts'


Product Description

Jeremy Dyson is a master of the macabre, of stories brimming with black humour and the promise of something sinister just around the corner. In his new collection he explores the dark depths of the human condition, offering tales of death, disaster and - just occasionally - redemption. An unhappy, near-autistic bookseller acquires miraculous powers over life and death and exacts his revenge on the world - in a cruel and unexpected way. Alone in their isolated boarding school, three boys explore the mysterious cellar that is officially off-limits, only to discover something far worse than they expected about the building and themselves. A pathological fear of violent crime drives a wealthy property developer to purchase a private island and build himself a home of absolute security. Unfortunately he succeeds in attracting the very thing he fears the most. In these and other tales of suspense and horror, Jeremy Dyson introduces the reader to a world that is at once mysterious and strangely familiar ...

5.0 out of 5 stars He's done it again!, 17 Jun 2009
Hand on heart, I'm already a fan but a critical one and I'm so pleased to say this collection of stories is superb. Not a single dud. All written with the same musical style and sense of surprise and twist. You will enjoy each one and each one will leave you thinking deeply about yourself and about the world.
