Unseen Footsteps — Mary Williams

Miss Potts, the librarian, enjoyed her comfortable life in her cozy flat. She enjoyed it, that is, until her slippers developed an independent life of their own...

With her usual flair for the extraordinary Mary Williams writes of the redoubtable Miss Potts' struggles to put order back into her life. But order and coziness are far removed from some of her other gripping and terrifying tales in this new collection of stories. She writes of the dark side of Cornwall, of a world no longer seen but felt, which casts its evil over those whom it chooses for its own. In others of her tales her humor breaks through, and her ghostly world is peopled not only by the horrifying but by the comic and the bizarre.
