This is a collection of some of the very best of Graham Joyce’s short stories including the award-winning novella ‘Leningrad Nights’. These stories will take the reader to the frozen and dangerous streets of Leningrad during its 900 day siege; a mysterious beach on a remote Greek island; a dystopian England where unwanted children live underground; a hot summers day when a village awaits the rescue of a group of miners trapped underground; a patch of wasteland under a sinister pylon where a group of young friends gather to play and to the wild and lonely landscape of the Norfolk fens. This edition includes an introduction by the author.‘Joyce as a writer is a master charmer. Mesmerising ‘ The Guardian
‘Joyce’s skill at conveying the creepiness of inexplicable events creates undeniable tension …invites comparison to the work of Murakmi and McEwan.’ The Washington Post
‘Joyce’s writing is enthralling, agile and effortless’ The New York Times
