About This Book

A set of macabre short stories that examine grief, obsession, and uncanny interference between the living and the dead. Scenes range from a widower who attempts to fix a photographic plate of his recently deceased partner and discovers disturbing signs during development to narratives about displaced wanderers and sudden misfortunes. The pieces emphasize claustrophobic interiors, tense psychological unraveling, and ordinary technologies or gestures triggering moral dread and unexpected, often horrific, revelations.
