Night Shadows: Twentieth-century Tales of the Uncanny

This fine collection of stories straddles the thin border between the territory of ordinary anxiety and that of existential nightmare. These tales of dread and darkness do not feature the traditional demons that haunt country houses, but rather characters who inhabit the familiar scenes of everyday life. These are tales of ordinary people who all have one thing in common - at some point in their lives reality turned strange, and the unthinkable became conceivable.
