R. Ostermeier lives and works on the peninsula. This first collection of strange tales draws predominantly on the region's folklore and history, yet also includes first-hand accounts of contemporary disquiet.A Trick of the Shadow contains the extraordinarily unnerving 'Object' and the disturbing, Arthur Machen-inspired 'A Tantony Pig', as well as the novella 'Bird-hags', which in all truth might not be for you."I found myself thinking of these unsettling stories long after I'd finished reading them. Subtle, strange and filled with unease, the tales in A Trick of the Shadow got into my dreams." - Ben Mee, author of Gloom Circus
