I enjoyed this collection of spooky, creepy and sometimes scary short stories very much. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a shiver or three whilst they read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A wonderful collection of tales of subtle urban fantasy with a delicious gothic flavour. Icy Sedgwick's flash fiction is perfect and the longer stories here also captivate the reader. It is clear that many of these tales are based on her real life and yet, somehow, she manages to weave magic into them in a most graceful way. My favourites were "The Midas Box", "The Thwarted Stalker", "The Mirror Phase", and the humorous "The Dead Do Listen".
