A rich cripple commissions a portraitist to create for her an ideal mate. A successful doctor confronts his past life in a deserted cottage. A young idealistic teacher is caught in a web of power in a decaying country town. In these gripping gothic tales, individuals’ fears and fantasies come startlingly to life to confront them. A disturbing and original new voice in Australian writing.

‘[Swinbourne] demonstrates a rare confidence with language that makes for compelling reading.’ – Weekend Australian

‘Even the shorter stories quickly create an atmosphere of foreboding and menace.’ – Sydney Morning Herald

‘This is goo meaty material – a sprongboard for good fiction.’ – Sunday Tasmanian
