Enter a world where the psychic, the alienist and the assassin carry out their strange duties, whilst quiet tragedies unfold in an Edwardian England which is never quite what it seems. From rural Yorkshire to the heart of London City, death is on the air, and no one can sense it better than Mr Dry, the Deptford Assassin. On Suffolk shores, an army widow loads her husband's revolver; in a small village, a vicar and his wife hear a tale which challenges their beliefs, and a deluded killer almost escapes the courts. This much expanded 2nd edition includes a number of additional stories, plus other oddities. "Grant brings to mind P.G.Wodehouse gone hopelessly mad and hiding in a cupboard with a long sharp knife. Oh, and by the by, have you met Edwin Dry? No? Then you've not yet encountered one of the most ghastly characters in modern strange fiction." Matthew M Bartlett, author of Creeping Waves"A series of supernatural tales distinguished both by their elegance and by their wit." John Langan, author of The Fisherman
