Two Dark Tales

A pair of disturbing novellas from the master of ‘the literary uncanny’

There are four ways in but no way out …

In ‘Jack Squat’, unemployed Gordon and his partner Omar see a money-making opportunity helping expats buy homes in southern Italy. But their scheme catches up with them after the first home they sell, curiously built with four entrances but no connecting doors inside, is revealed to have a dark history.

In ‘The Niche’, mercilessly bullied schoolboy Billy Lender finds a hiding place in a nook in the school corridor and begins to hear whispers: the voice of a mysterious friend who will help him to plot a devastating revenge.

O pereche de romane deranjante de la maestrul „neobisnuitului literar” Exista patru cai de intrare, dar nici o iesire ... In „Jack Squat”, somerul Gordon si partenerul sau Omar vad o oportunitate de a castiga bani, ajutand expatii sa cumpere case in sudul Italiei. Dar schema lor ii urmareste dupa prima casa pe care o vand, construita curios cu patru intrari, dar fara usi de legatura in interior, se pare ca are o istorie intunecata.
