  The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.Black as Darkness: Jack Wells drained his second can of ice-cold beer and waved awaya fat bluebottle that had drifted lazily across his line of vision. The heat was tremendous. He couldn't remember a summer like it, or at least not since '76, or maybe '47.

  Let’s be clear.  Reality is absolute and what takes place is both honest and real even if at times what happens cannot be fully explained. 
   
  However, in this collection our writers including W F Harvey, Violet Hunt, H G Wells and Amelia Edwards and others look at reality from a different angle.  What if reality had an extra layer placed upon it that we could see and feel and interact with and yet logically could not actually exist.   
   
  It’s a compelling premise as their characters roam the narratives of whether the present or what they are experiencing at that moment is real or imagined.
