Things We Say in the Dark: Kirsty Logan

A shocking collection of dark stories, ranging from chilling contemporary fairytales to disturbing supernatural fiction.

Alone in a remote house in Iceland a woman is unnerved by her isolation; another can only find respite from the clinging ghost that follows her by submerging herself in an overgrown pool. Couples wrestle with a lack of connection to their children; a schoolgirl becomes obsessed with the female anatomical models in a museum; and a cheery account of child`s day out is undercut by chilling footnotes.

These dark tales explore women`s fears with electrifying honesty and invention and speak to one another about female bodies, domestic claustrophobia, desire and violence.
