In her first collection of short stories, Award Winning author Marion Arnott fashions eleven contemporary slow-burning tales which dig deep into the human psyche, spreading unease and unsettling fears. Fusing crime with passion, hope with despair, Arnott's strong characterisation imbues each story with a poignant realism that transcends cultural and historical boundaries. Whether metaphorically or literally her creations sleepwalk through their nightmares, their dreams, and their lives.
The author
Marion Arnott is emerging as a distinctive voice within the independent press, and her stories have frequently been short-listed for the CWA/Macallan Short Story Dagger Award (winner 2001, runner-up 2002), and now nominated again for 2003 with her story "Dollface" which debuts in this anthology. Her publication credits include appearances in Crimewave, Chapman, Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, and Quality Women's Fiction amongst others.
