A Nighthawk at My Window and Other Stories - Gothic tales (illustrated edition)
This collection brings together dark, lyrical stories that explore love, loss, and the quiet strangeness that can slip into everyday life - those fleeting moments when the familiar turns subtly uncanny. This special edition includes sixteen full-page illustrations that deepen the eerie, dreamlike atmosphere of each tale.
One Eye Moon - Relentless bullies assault Mary, a quiet girl nearing adulthood, but Moon, an enigmatic man with one blind eye, rescues her and offers her refuge. However, as she enters his shadowy world, Mary begins to question whether he is the saviour she initially thought he was.
Almost Real Glee - Nigel, a reclusive man, regrets his gender reassignment operations and hides from the world. When he receives a novel that exposes his most guarded secrets, he becomes obsessed with finding the author who knows truths he has never spoken aloud.
My Winter Face - Abandoned at the height of winter, a child struggles with the ache of being left behind. The only outings are to the freezing village church for endless sermons, where the cold in her bones feels no different from the loneliness she carries within her.
A Nighthawk at My Window - Imprisoned in the attic of a decaying manor house, a teenage girl survives by bending reality to her will and befriending the creatures that wander in and out of her lonely world. But everything changes when a mysterious man with an unreadable face appears in the fields beneath her window.
Sixteen gothic tales that echo long after the last page - haunting, intimate, and beautifully strange.
This is a special illustrated edition.
