A man who can't outrun a past mistake; a mysterious attendee at an illegal street fight; people haunted by whispers, footsteps, menacing figures; shapeshifters, fairies who steal newborn babies, places no one dares to go. All this and more can be found in this new collection of short stories by Tim Jeffreys. Nine previous published stories and eight that are original to this collection, including the novelette The Wilds.
