Spine-chillingly creepy Halloween tales of horror from author of Waterstones Thriller of the Month, Uncle Paul: the ''grandmother of psycho-domestic noir'' ( Sunday Times ) for fans of Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith and Stranger Things. ''Few people can chill the blood like Celia Fremlin.'' Telegraph ''Grips like grim death.'' Spectator I tried to open my mouth to call out again; but it was not my mouth that opened; it was a great beak, jutting out of my face, cruel and curved like a bird of prey ... In the high flats, up near the clouds, Hilda and her baby twins reach a fateful end ... An aunt feels foreboding about her niece''s new fiance - but the darkness comes from within ... A haunted babysitter experiences a little girl''s terror of The Hen With The Great Big Eyes ... One teenage girl''s evening home alone is ruined by a mysterious unexpected visitor ... A little boy''s obsession with angels leads to a dramatic metamorphosis ... Celia Fremlin''s classic Gothic story collection is a masterpiece of psychological horror, mining the darkest elements of marriage, childhood, and ageing; probing paranoia, grief and toxic relationships; inviting the ghosts of the past into our present; and exploring the nightmarish secret impulses and supernatural forces lurking beneath suburban Britain.
