Anthony Masters has a convincing array of ghost and horror stories to his credit. This collection of ten short stories follows the pattern of his best work: believable story lines with low-key descriptions. The cover is arresting in the way it distorts the expected - just as the stories do. This book provides a model for competem horror writing - never overstate your case and be sure your characters and settings are firmly rooted in the everyday.
