Description

These 18 stories by the author of The Paradise Motel range from magic realism to the hauntingly macabre. Whether describing a town of one-legged miners, a bizarre brother/sister relationship, or salty seamen telling their favourite real-life horror stories, McCormack disturbs and enchants.
