James Cooper has rapidly developed into one of the most distinguished writers of contemporary horror fiction of his generation. His stories possess a rare insight into human nature and capture the voices of those who feel at odds with the world, their strange tales resonating long into the night, leaving the reader profoundly moved. The stories collected here offer a unique view of the family dynamic and are frequently disturbing. Don’t say you haven’t been warned…
Featuring:

"In Fetu" - A new-born child isn’t always a blessing; sometimes the shadow that accompanies it can be a curse.
"There’s Something Wrong With Pappy" - In the grey house on the hill on the moor there lives a man. Pray you never look upon his face…
HEAD SPACE & OTHER UNCOMFORTABLE SURROUNDINGS gathers the best stories from the out-of-print collections You are the Fly and The Beautiful Red and includes "Butterfly," an original, unpublished story.
