They say that angels descend into the big white house on the hill, but it takes two boys to find out that this is not entirely true. In the ancient forests of Europe, long-forgotten gods still live, whose bloodthirstiness has not subsided over the centuries. At night, in the window of the most ordinary house you can see an eerie white face. Displaced people in New Zealand are about to face something terrible. The unfortunate first occupant of a model apartment in West London will discover that it is not only old mansions with a century-old history that are cursed. All this and much more can be found in Adam Neville's collection of nightmares and fantasies. Here traditions are intertwined with the originality of the author's vision, and even seemingly classic plots of scary stories take on a new meaning.
