Description

The Global Bestseller from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted Author of Fever Dream

A young mother steps into the water, determined to end her life. What will bring her back?

For a single moment, a baby is left unattended in a room of everyday dangers.

In a high-rise apartment block, in a city far from home, a ghost appears.

When a lonely woman acts on a kind impulse the consequences will be dark, bold and revelatory.

From the thrice International Booker nominated author of Fever Dream and Little Eyes come six perfect terrors to change your days and haunt your dreams.

Praise for Good and Evil and Other Stories:

‘Mesmerizing . . . powerfully evocative and unsettling’ – Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times
‘These stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside’ – Colum McCann
‘A master of the uncanny’ – The New Yorker
‘Just stellar – extreme, uncanny and beautifully controlled’ – Anne Enright
‘A fabulous writer. Her stories are subtle, always haunting and deeply human’ – Isabel Allende
‘You will find yourself in the space on the other side of terror – a space of openness, fragility and strange reassurance’ – The Guardian
