The best stories've the collection r thaise thit plaie intae wit Grabinski cawed 'psychofantasy', delving deep intae Grabinski's ideas've if the mind n its powers, wae many've Freud's 'theories' on psychology wurkin theresels in there.

Fae the mind's constructions bleedin oot intae the physical wurld in 'The Area' tae twa conflictin ideas've time warpin wan another in 'Saturnin Sektor' the weirdness've Grabinski's tales are baith refreshin n frightenin. If yer lookin fir weird tales thit bring tae the surface fears foond in the dark domain've yer ain mind then gee tis beuk ah read.
