A Thread of Truth (Paperback)

Nina Allan

In this book, the first collection from London writer Nina Allan, the full range of her styles is evident. Often using only the tiniest hints of the unusual or otherworldly to colour her narratives, these stories are rooted squarely in both the meticulously observed modern world and the traditions of British macabre and slipstream writing. They are subtle and elegantly crafted, leading us to question our own identities and take a second look at places we thought we knew. From the quiet and melancholy mystery of Terminus to the fractured modern reality of The Vicar with Seven Rigs to the fragile and almost classical beauty and eeriness of the title novella, A Thread of Truth - many of these stories have never been seen in print before.
