Both the terror and the terrible beauty in the everyday shape these stories from the Edgar Award–winning author, “Britain’s Patricia Highsmith” (The Sunday Times).   Known for her novels of psychological suspense, Celia Fremlin helped usher in a new form of horror, one that could be found among neighbors, friends, and in ordinary lives. This collection of fifteen short stories highlights Fremlin’s acute perception and deft wit as she shines a light on the darkness that lurks in the corners of our existence.   A middle-aged survivor of the London bombings during World War II gets the same rush from shoplifting—with an explosive outcome—in “Her Number on It.” Two women learn they can never hide from their exasperating friend even in a haunted cottage in “Don’t Tell Cissie.” In “Gate of Death,” a successful businessman finds himself paralyzed by his fear of flying, while in “Ephemerida,” an old woman gets a new perspective on life—and death—when her thoughts take wing.    This collection of slow-burn stories cements Celia Fremlin’s legacy as “a major mistress of insight and suspense” (The New York Times).  Praise for Celia Fremlin   “Few people can chill the blood like Celia Fremlin.” —The Daily Telegraph   “Fremlin packs a punch.” —Ian Rankin, New York Times–bestselling author    “Splendid . . .

P. Lovecraft on his work.Alone with the Horrors provides readers with a close look at a powerful writer’s development of his craft.“The marrow-chilling tales in this comprehensive, chronologically arranged collection, selected from Campbell’s 30-year career, demonstrate the ways this sophisticated British writer inspires fear without resorting to blood and gore.” —Publishers Weekly
