Mist hangs over a field, with a quote from Susanna Clarke's short story The Bishop of Durham Attempts to Surrender the City: 'Riding across grey winter meadows towards an eerie foe…'

Do you like tales that lead you down the dark places of the human soul?
Do you like subtle, psychological #horror that slowly creeps into every corner of your body while reading?
Do you love #Scotland ?
And you really don't have time to sit down and read a whole novel?
Oh, then I do have something for you!
Human Nature by @QuokkaMocha contains 13 #ShortStories stories, each short enough to keep you entertained on a bus trip of perhaps 25 minutes (that is 50 minutes if you are traveling with #DeutscheBahn).
Highly recommended!

Thinking of the #editor Matt Weiland, who says that publishers 'make public, and that involves a lot of jumping up and down and waving arms and honking'.

So #JumpingUpAndDown about Susanna Clarke returning to the world of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

#WavingArms that she's throwing new light on The Raven King.

And #honking that her short story is exclusively in @fictionable

'One of those troubled types who stare at the ground and fail to see it'.'

'I wanted to kiss her. I'd kissed girls before, but never sober during the day.'

First time I've read Philip Ó Ceallaigh and won't be the last. Good collection so far. Lots of nice little observations and character sketches tucked into single sentences.

Resting on a black bag, my paperback edition of the short story collection Trouble by Philip Ó Ceallaigh. Cover: Dark blue background with a small illustration of a cityscape in the middle in vivid orange colours. The title and author name are in large sans serif white type. At the bottom, this praise quote from John Banville: 'A wonderful writer who dares to stay loyal to the short-story form. Here is a master in full control of his material.'
