Fantasy meets horror, humor and history in these nine strange tales of The Other...

* A grandson of the gods attempts to repel an unwelcome—and beautiful—visitor to his mountain retreat.

* A British Intelligence officer visits the trenches of the Somme. Do the fantastical reports from there stem from some mass insanity amongst the troops ... or have the Germans developed a monstrous secret weapon?

* A pauper is led to his execution where Evil awaits at the end of the lash. Or will he find Redemption instead?

* A young woman waits by a graveside with her lost love.

* And a washed up musician's passion for music and for life is revived by four strangers, strangers who prefer speaking from the shadows—strangers who begin to show an unhealthy interest in his son.

For fans of gripping short fiction comes a collection for the train, for the plane, or for days where it rains.
