Don't Go to Sleep in the Dark : Classic Halloween Ghost Stories by Celia Fremlin
I tried to open my mouth to call out again; but it was not my mouth that opened; it was a great beak, jutting out of my face, cruel and curved like a bird of prey ... In the high flats, up near the clouds, Hilda and her baby twins reach a fateful end ...
An aunt feels foreboding about her niece's new fiance - but the darkness comes from within ... A haunted babysitter experiences a little girl's terror of The Hen With The Great Big Eyes ... One teenage girl's evening home alone is ruined by a mysterious unexpected visitor ...
A little boy's obsession with angels leads to a dramatic metamorphosis ... Celia Fremlin's classic Gothic story collection is a masterpiece of psychological horror, mining the darkest elements of marriage, childhood, and ageing; probing paranoia, grief and toxic relationships; inviting the ghosts of the past into our present; and exploring the nightmarish secret impulses and supernatural forces lurking beneath suburban Britain.
