| Review Quote | In the stories Winterson is at her best, unsurprisingly, when doing new things with the form |
| Other text | A thought-provoking collection of short stories, interspersed with memories of her own unexplained encounters with the paranormal… The theme that runs through all the stories is loss and how it haunts the living |
