Overview
Critically acclaimed weird fiction author Ben Tufnell (The North Shore, Paradise) returns with a powerful debut collection of short fiction.
At the end of a long summer, young boys find a skull on the beach. An artist destroys her work in order to create anew. An antique mirror offers a glimpse of another reality. An urban street is suddenly and inexplicably depopulated allowing nature to reestablish itself.
Ben Tufnell’s debut short story collection invokes marginal spaces and states of mind—the precarious thresholds between childhood and adulthood, innocence and experience—and landscapes including the Norfolk coast, the Welsh Marches, the jungles of Argentina and the mountains of the Pyrenees. These fourteen stories build cumulatively to create a vision of a world in which everything is interconnected yet nothing is certain, boundaries and borders are indistinct, and reality is porous.
