Description: Ten sorry tales is a book of bones and stones, of vengeful hermits and wayward hearses, of junior Rip Van Winkles and resurrectionists. From the faintly wierd to the fiercly eccentric, and from the everyday to the surreal, the stories read like cautionary tales and modern-day fables and the characters make for peculiar but exquisite company.
