Murmurs in the Night - Twisted Tales of Terror

Terrors await in the night. The ordinary becomes strange, mundane becomes unbelievable, normality flips into horror and life abruptly slips towards death - or worse. Murmurs in the Night is a collection of stories about people - good and evil - coping with disturbing incidents that often begin with the commonplace... A driver alone at night on a highway is puzzled when his radio switches off by itself; a woman walking home through a park looks back and sees the loudly argumentative couple behind her is just one person; a family dinner is disrupted when mum shouts out garbled words in a strange voice; a man walks out of his bathroom after a nocturnal visit to see an unknown old woman sitting up in his bed; a placid cat fights viciously to avoid being put out at night, a flimsily dressed woman walks in the cold rain, trying to make herself sick; a strange old man puts Christmas ''darks'' up on his house, with dire consequences for some townsfolk. Ten stories of unusual - often scary, rarely funny - events when the everyday abruptly shifts into another, disturbing reality. Enter if you dare - and be entertained. A natural inheritor of the crown first forged by the great Roald Dahl
