Description
A
wander down a country pathway, a cruise vacation in the Mediterranean, a
school reunion, a sandwich eaten in the park - in the stories of Stevie
Carroll, the mundane becomes tantalizingly magical. A footballer’s
mistress gets more than just an apartment when her lover tries to keep
her in style; a rock-and-roll bass player finds out that second chances
aren’t all they’re cracked up to be; something sinister lurks beneath
the trappings of a travelling carnival.
Richly
peopled with characters you might meet in the shop around the corner,
yet haunted by glimpses of something entirely otherworldly, A Series of
Ordinary Adventures will transport you from the streets and lanes of
England to a place where imagination is only the beginning.
Magical
realism mixes with subtle horror and heartfelt romance in a collection
of stories that will captivate and transform you long after the final
page.
