Welcome to the Grand Guignol.
A prayer to Gods as yet unknown.
The stunning new collection of weird fiction from visionary writer
D.P. Watt. The foolish wisdom of forlorn puppets. A diabolical chorus in many voices. Shadowy shapes emerging from the strange blueness.
Dreamers of other truths. The delicate craft of filial love. You - and
some other you. Creatures in the hedgerows. Cold rime creeping across
darkened windows. The numinous night pool. A hive of pain. These and
other nightmares await.
"DP Watt has real talent. It touches on and reflects the world we know, but as in a glass darkly." - Reggie Oliver
