A collection of 18 short stories. The focus of these often bizarre and humourous stories is home and our need to belong. The author has also written a children's book, TMy Hiding Place'.
Eighteen stories with a mordant edge, full of hidden things and quiet dangers. With a spare and uncompromising style Janet Shaw unfolds the bizarre, the sometimes sinister and the dark humour which lies beneath ordinary domestic surfaces. But this author's interest is not only in the surreal or extraordinary: one is also aware of the characters' very human need to belong, to find a home. There is something uncomfortably familiar about the way these uprooted characters draw others into their own peculiar fantasies. These are stories that will haunt you.
