which journey to worlds that linger between
life and death. Fear, disappointment and
loneliness permeate these worlds, forcing each
character to face up to the dark side of human
existence.

forests, an alluring supernatural creature
drains Henry Scott of his life force. In danger
of becoming a desperate ghost lost to the
forest, he must ght to nd his way back home.
Recently deceased at the age of thirty-six,
Adelaide Anderson discovers that being a
ghost is as disappointing as being alive. Angry
and disillusioned, she takes extreme measures
to live the life she deserves.
Jimmy is the god of anxiety and depression.
Frustrated at his low status, he steals e Scythe
from his brother, Death. When he kills Rachel,
it gives her a relief from the pain of living, but
for Jimmy, facing Death is more than his life
is worth.
An original blend of horror, pathos and
humour, these curious stories will cause
disquiet, heartache and a thrilling sting of
pleasure.
