Is there a barrier that
divides the dark unknown
from the everyday world
around us? If so, is it
broken sometimes by the
dead returning, by the
undead, or by alien
creatures? What else
could account for the
chance meeting (or was
it?) between a young
student and hitch-hiker
who turns out to be so
much stranger than she
seems? Why else should
three successive crews
flying a Second World War
bomber - Blackham's
Wimpey - be driven to
madness, despair, even
to death, though the
plane returns from each
mission without a
scratch? Who are Fred,
Alice and Aunty Lou; the
figments of Peter's
imagination that become a
real life nightmare for
Roger and Biddy? There is
St Austin Friars, too: a
church without a
congregation - until a
burial service, oddly
arranged a month ahead,
is attended by a sinister
assortment of the living
and the dead. And
Sergeant Nice, an
ordinary policeman in an
ordinary seaside town
faced with a series of
quite extraordinary
thefts; the work surely,
of no human hand.
Chilling, but often
humorous as well, these
stories creep up on you
