A shocking event on an evening train only revealed by hypnosis, a man driven to extremes to rid himself of nightmare neighbours, and a rural driving holiday stopped in its tracks by a mythical creature. Just three of the 13 Dark Tales, inspired by macabre urban myths and sinister folklore, in this first collection. Read them in the dark hours when they might call to mind a disturbing story you can't quite place or a strange shape glimpsed from the corner of your eye, things you dismissed as too fantastic to take seriously but left nagging doubts, nonetheless. Some of them may be true.
