More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
People and places are never what they seem. In "Strangers Waiting", her first collection of short stories, acclaimed award-winning crime writer Sally Spedding explores that theme to powerful and unnerving effect. Alice Duff in "Blackthorn Days", will lure you into her parallel world, while "Downtime" reveals a macabre future for those who dare grow too old. In "Reserve Du Chasse", the Mullers unwittingly stumble into a part of rural France still bitter from the last war. The author, referred to as a 'latter-day Du Maurier,' delves into the darkest parts of the human psyche, the landscape we inhabit and that Other Dimension beyond the earth we know. Read, and you won't know whom to trust, or where to choose to plant your dreams...Award-winning crime mystery writer, Sally Spedding was born Wales and trained in sculpture at Manchester and St. Martin's, London. Winning the Nottingham Festival's International Short Story competition was her first writing success. She has since carved a particular niche with her novels "Wringland", "A Night With no Stars", "Prey Silence" and "Come and be Killed" (2007) all published by Allison & Busby.

Format:Hardcover
I was hoping to enjoy this crime mystery novel and wasn't disappointed. It is filled with short stories that are mysterious, alluring, enchanting.
Dechets sets the tone for the book, luring the reader in and leaving you longing for more, which are then delivered in a succession of several delightful stories. Strangers Waiting was full on scary, heart in my mouth, edge of my seat, full of suspense type of scary. Minstrel Boy left me with an aftertaste of sadness. I became so engrossed in Sword Lillies that I was somewhat snappish when interrupted while reading. Reserve de Chasse, was eerie enough to have me fighting the urge to look over my shoulder. Blackthorn days, is extremely clever and thoroughly satisfying. Downtime was very plausible and all the more frightening because of that. Mares perfectly depicts the lure of herd mentality. Clan was the perfect finish to this eclectic mix.
This slim volume is the perfect size to enjoy in its entirety during a decadent duvet day. Follow the links at the top of the post to indulge yourself with this calorie free Halloween treat.
