The Faces at Your Shoulder by Steve Duffy - hardcvr
Hardcover. Limited/numbered edition of 325.
Where are the monsters? Sometimes they’re right behind you.
In this new collection of six novelettes – three are wholly original to this volume – Steve Duffy invites us to look over our shoulders, and asks us whether we recognise the faces that we see. Some of them are all too human, some are animals, and some are like nothing we’ve ever seen – yet.
In the snowy wastes of the Yukon and the mining country of Appalachia an age-old terror is unwittingly unleashed…
After-hours at the Pacific View diner, meet a glamorous, mysterious film star and uncover a monstrous bargain…
In Streatham or in Ethiopia, you must be careful what you wish for – very careful – or anything might happen…
Christmas is a time for family, and that means dark secrets, desperate desires and occult constructs…
Down at the zoo something is stirring: the animals know, but the warders won’t realise until it’s already too late…
Young love blossoms at the New York World’s Fair, but the future has its own agenda…
