One for sorrow... These deliciously dark tales are themed on the counting magpies songs. Twenty-five tales, ranging from tiny flash fiction to long stories, always entertain and unnerve. Whether it is waking to unmentionable sounds in Not Alone, taking a trip to the land of stories in Five for Silver, the surprising use of a robot butler in I, Butler, or competition winner It Falls, Sutton's unique voice shines through. Shortlisted for the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection.
