A girl born with a number for a name, destined to become a new
messiah - a seagull who becomes a household pet and national
celebrity - flashing patterns of light as a key to your darkest
fears - an impoverished family with a murderous secret. In these
fourteen stories of this his first collection, Jeff Gardiner shows
a startling range of styles and imagination, from visceral horror
to lyrical literary prose. Keen psychological insight is allied to
a shrewd knowledge of ancient myth and mysticism. Gardiner's
recurring interest is in religion and spirituality and the strange
traces these almost outlawed strangers have left on modern urban
life. His characters are often dangerous and unreasonable, their
actions unpredictable, a far cry from the rational universe we like
to think we share. Look again at your world and let Gardiner show
the glimpses you've been missing of the doors that beckon you to
other ways of seeing. The ominous, the luminous... the numinous.
