"At first I used to dream of the incident, and relive the hollow horror of watching a man die, but later, when it became obvious Lieutenant Steele would remain lost, the dream changed. I was then on the riverbed watching the corpse pass me in the subdued, filtered light of the failing day." Spine-tingling, thought-provoking, nostalgic, surprising, eerie, insightful - a collection of tales from award winning short story writer, Heikki Hietala. Like filtered light casting shadows in a dense forest, playing tricks with your eyes ... the dark chill lurks. The brittle crack of ice, a flutter of wing, atonal harmonies, a shift in perspective... "Breathtaking, outstanding, complete."-Aison Wells ..".an ineradicable sense of dark chill lurking."-Dan Holloway
