SYNOPSIS:  “Sophia J. Unsworth is an assured new voice in contemporary strange and supernatural fiction, and this debut collection marks the arrival of a new literary talent.

Drawing on elements of the weird, the uncanny, and the psychological, Unsworth offers unsettling narratives of creeping unease and psychological depth. In these ten singular and thought-provoking stories, Unsworth tells of hauntings that are not only found in Gothic mansions, but also within the quiet recesses of the human mind. These are tales where reality is subtly warped, where memory is a distorting mirror, and where the best-forgotten past intrudes.

A pianist’s museum dedicated to a silent film-maker is not just filled with physical reminders of the past, but with intangible forces that attract unworldly visitors who arrive with a parallel agenda. Can one recreate the physical past through memory alone? Can the debris of architectural salvage retain memories of the traumatic past? What happens when creativity and madness overlap?

Unsworth is a natural storyteller, offering lyrical prose and an understanding of character and atmosphere.”
