About This Item
North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press, 2014. First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket,. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2014. First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket, 220 pp.<br/> This edition limited to 300 copies. "Rebecca Lloyd's first published collection of six teen strange stories, nine of which are previously unpublished, is made up of tales of unease with a sprinkling of the ghostly, menacing and fantastical. The stories inhabit the fragile space between fantasy and reality, where the landscape is in constant flux and things are not quite as they seem. In 'Mercy' a loving husband finds an unusual method of prolonging his affection for his wife, while the inhabitant of a half-way house finds a creative use for internet dating in 'Salsa'. Alan runs away from the circus in 'The Lover', and in 'The Reunion', eccentric and elderly Isobel and Charles, struggling with the upkeep of their decaying mans ion, chose an entirely new way to face the future. In 'Maynard's Mountain', the search for a lost lottery ticket involves a traveller family in a (literally) uphill task. Rebecca Lloyd's is a stylish and distinctive new voice in the field of the strange tale, and it is hoped that this collection will chill and entertain in equal measure."
