stapsreads

A freebie collection (from the front of My Weekly originally, apparently) of five stories, unconnected but for the underlying atmosphere of unease. 'Walter's Leg', in which an old man revisits an incident in his childhood. 'Computer Séance' - a terrible pun, and a nice twist. Miss Climpson would be amused, though she wouldn't let it show. 'Fair Exchange' - very good, an old story but a new way of telling it. 'Catamount' - fantastic, atmospheric tale about a cougar. And 'The Professional', which I felt was the least successful, about a lad who sees and doesn't say.

A quick read, and a good way to pass half an hour.
