A murder in the family. A mad aunt in a sad house. A man held prisoner in his home. An orphan buying a granny. Romance and religion. Adultery and retribution. Lost in the snow. A weird world where fat is fabulous. The ghosts of the past - and the ghosts of what might have been. There's something for everybody in these 14 visions from Yorkshire writers, for these are "twilight worlds, rites of passage and longing," as Ian Clayton says in his foreword, and "Sometimes your eye falls on things you wouldn't ordinarily see, at other times these things blow right into your eye - the real nitty-gritty."
