Nightshift is a shudderingly detailed map of the dark places that lie behind our waking, rational world. These are tales to invade and paralyse the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the creeping, peopled shadows of night. As you read, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat. This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered; a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems ,where the familiar and friendly lure and deceive. A world where madness and blind panic become the only reality.
