    About this ebook

    In these darkly comic supernatural stories, horror and wonder bleed into everyday life.

     

    A forest witch haunts a golf course, while Annie defends her vegetable patch from dark forces. A would-be detective falls for a femme fatale in a seaside town, and a lonely Victorian girl makes a startling new friend.

     

    In twenty bittersweet, uncanny stories, Sarah Jackson explores love and loneliness, trauma and transformation, solidarity and greed.
