"Fractured families, domestic claustrophobia, and the unseen menace of the everyday. Alison Moore's debut collection of short fiction shares the same emotional tension and tightly controlled prose that garnered her first novel, The Lighthouse, a spot on the Man Booker shortlist. From flash fictions to the novella, insightful realism to chilling gothic horror, Moore's talents are on full display here."-- Provided by publisher.
