Sinopse

On Stewkey Blues: 'In his solid, grounded, entertaining collection of stories, DJ Taylor draws out the mythical qualities of East Anglia's terrain, urban or rural or somewhere marginal in between.' —Hilary Mantel
Most of the people in Poppyland are watching their lives begin to blur at the margins. From small-hours taxi offices, out-of-season holiday estates and flyblown market stalls, they sit observing an environment that seems to be moving steadily out of kilter, struggling to find agency, making compromises with a world that threatens to undermine them, and sometimes – but only sometimes – taking a decisive step that will change their destinies.

    Jesse McDermitt has returned to the Florida Keys. But things in the islands are different now. The locals are worried, but nobody can explain why. A sense of foreboding hangs in the humid July air. 
    One of the locals, an investment banker, is waiting tables at the Rusty Anchor Bar and Grill. He seems a shell of the man he used to be—a hollow man whose fortune and wife are gone. He’s tight-lipped about how he came to be a guest in Rufus’s little shack behind the bar. 
    Something very sinister is going on—Jesse smells it. He’s usually very good at rooting out the source of a problem, but is stumped this time. 
    Until another tight-lipped hollow man shows up.

    TALES FROM AN IRONIC MIND TWO

Maybe you are one of those people who see things a bit differently, from an angle not often noticed. Do you walk on that road not often traveled? Do you sometimes want to take just a little peak at that great abyss? Do you find life sometimes mystical and magical while others are complaining about the gray? Go ahead, try and guess where the story is going and how it is going to end. Maybe you too, have an ironic mind.

    All snowed in and nowhere to go… 
    Forty year-old Natalie Leonidis booked her stay at Crystal Springs Getaways long before the weather report came in. With her ex getting remarried, the successful author of a popular detective series was just looking for a quiet way to spend the holidays. She wasn’t counting on the travel agent double booking her coveted one bedroom cabin! 
    Bron Beckett needed a break from running his Fortune 500 company. After two failed marriages, he could attest to the fact that women and wealth were not always friends. It was getting harder to know if a woman wanted him or what was in his bank account. Being single during the holidays was the worst. 
    It was like everyone had a cousin or sister for him to meet—but not this year. He had plans to get away from it all. With the latest release from his favorite author and a tumbler of his favorite label, Whiskey Neat, Bron was going to kick back while the yule log crackled in the fireplace. 
    Sounded like a perfect Christmas. But he wasn’t the only one with designs on cabin 1225. His uninvited guest could stay and make the best of it. Or leave and take her chances with the incoming blizzard. 
    One look at her luscious figure and Bron knew exactly what he wanted—to spend Christmas Eve with the curvy Natalie wrapped around him. No reservations. No rules. 
    Just her yule and his log.

     He didn’t know how or why--it just...happened one day. 
    Jason Cole was working on finding a suitable picture for some newsletter or something. One of ten or twenty specific photos he would find that day. Same old thing he’d done a hundred times before. Looking through stock photos, this time for a cooking ad. 
    Then he found her. In a picture titled “attractive woman in apron smiling holding a spatula.” That was the first time he ever saw her. 
    And that first time was enough. It was her. He knew it. It was like a form a destiny or something. 
    He just...knew. 
    He was going to kill her.
