LONGLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE 2012 Along Cornwall's ancient
coast, from time to time, the flotsam and jetsam of the past can
become caught in the cross-currents of the present and a certain
kind of magic floats to the surface... Straying husbands lured into
the sea can be fetched back, for a fee. Houses creak, fill with
water and keep a fretful watch on their inhabitants. And, on a
windy beach, a small boy and his grandmother keep despair at bay
with an old white door. In these stories, hopes, regrets and
memories are entangled with catfish, wreckers' lamps and baying
hounds as Cornish folklore slips into everyday life.
