This new edition brings together some of Susan Hill's most haunting, affecting and atmospheric stories. They include the tale of a woman who relishes the freedom gained through her mother's death in 'A Bit of Singing and Dancing'; a lonely spinster who escapes her stifling guest-house life with fatal consequences in 'Cockles and Mussels'; a young boy who longs for a violent happening in 'The Badness Within Him'; and the nightmarish fears of an innocent child in 'The Elephant Man'.These are touching, sometimes unnerving stories of the vulnerable, the isolated and the displaced, told with sharpness, wit and great compassion.
