The Piper at the Back Gate a woman discovers a primeval forest beyond her night time garden and waiting there is someone from her childhood days. The Wild Hunt a wakeful woman joins the hunt first as prey, then as hunter, in a frozen land millennia ago. Snag a man meets a strange girl who seems to know all about everyone, to great effect.

Snip an arrogant young man fights a battle with post-operative infection and his conscience. The Faery Trees an angry child discovers why you should never fall asleep beneath the elder trees.

A collection of ten short stories to unsettle, disturb, chill or terrify. From the creeping unease of The Moth's Kiss of the title to the eeriness of A Fragrance of Roses, the stories seep into the consciousness of the reader. Shivers down the spine and a need to check doors and windows are a probable outcome of reading this collection alone at night. You'll never look at willows or mosquitoes the same. Or moths.
