    About this ebook

    A thought-provoking collection of contemporary short stories from the winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award 2013.

    Chris Beckett's thought-provoking and wide-ranging collection of contemporary short stories is a joy to read, rich in detail and texture. From stories about first love, to a man who discovers a labyrinth beneath his house, to an angel left alone at the end of the universe, Beckett displays both incredible range and extraordinary subtlety as a writer. Every story is a world unto itself - each one beautifully realized and brilliantly imagined.

      Playing House

      Oct 1, 2018

      I had two doll’s houses as a child. The first (I am guessing the order based on fabrication, because time tends to play tricks on memory) was a plastic tree house from Fisher-Price, which you can now find on eBay under vintage toys. It came with a gr

      Possessed By Possessions

      Dec 7, 2022

      YOU can’t judge a book by its title. I have no idea how Possessed by Bruce Hood made its way onto my bedside table, but there it has been lurking, unread, for the past couple of years. I assumed it was either a passionate romance (bleurgh) or about d
