And sometimes those things are looking back at us.In this collection of fifteen scary stories to tell in the dark, Karl Drinkwater sews flesh onto the bones of our worst fears, full of creeping menace that seeps from urban legends and folk horror.

We don't care why anyone comes here! Hey now, who said the locals are violent? Surly, maybe, but we love all types, here.""Mmm, that does look like a storm coming in. A bad 'un. No escape from the island tonight. Escape? I meant ... never mind. Come down these steps with me, I have something to show you. Don't look so worried, we don't bite!"An atmospheric folk horror likened to The Wicker Man in Wales.
