Relationships curdle, apparently ordinary scenes disclose darker motives, and several stories work by destabilising the reader’s confidence in what kind of story they thought they were reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"\"\u003eThe 'twist' here is the way of forcing questions about motive, guilt, secrecy, fear and the stories people tell themselves to keep ordinary life intact. A useful collection for readers interested in darker short fiction, psychological suspense, and the mechanics of narrative reversal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngus \u0026amp; Robertson \/ HarperCollins, Australia, 1993.
