The Halloween Mask and Other Strange Tales

By David Stuart Davies

Prepare to have your blood chilled and your nerves tingled … This collection of eighteen short stories blurs the line between the real and unreal, and transports you to the misty world of the supernatural, where faceless phantoms linger and nothing is what it appears. What is the terrible secret of ‘The Doll’s House’? What horror lies behind ‘The Halloween Mask’? And why is a whitewashed cottage called ‘The Fly House’? David Stuart Davies, a modern master of the unsettling narrative, provides a feast of ghoulish, ghostly and gripping tales to keep you awake long after the lights are turned out.
