This second collection of quirky short stories will take you to creepy places just beyond the here and now. Come this way, just beyond the here and now. Come travelling through these tales if you dare. Learn the fate of the children who break free from their ropes when the moon is full. Visit a school where teasing voices haunt the chilly hallways. Why are they taunting Zoe? Imagine, it’s a moonless night, you’re standing in a lake in your pyjamas and something is slithering around your ankle. What could this slithering creature be? Will it hurt you? Go with Bailey as he follows the transparent boy to find out what he is doing to make the playground so silent and cold. Discover who Kate is talking to on the phone and why it is a very strange and impossible wrong number. Learn what magical power is enclosed in the shining silver locket, and why the strange old woman insisted Maribelle should wear it. Spend some time in a cottage where robot arms can appear from every wall and the cat never has to wait for a pat or a scratch under the chin. Watch as Jack rebuilds his girlfriend. Love can last forever, if you can use a needle and thread. It’s not too far, just beyond the here and now.
