Mystery surrounds the origins of the first story "From the sea they came", for there is scant evidence that the German Kriegsmarine ever kidnapped British citizens from towns and villages along the Cornish coast. It is only rumoured to have happened. However, such rumours as there are provide the seeds for a good yarn possibly told over a beer by one of the local fishermen. "Concerto for side drum" is a tale along the lines of a ventriloquist's dummy taking over his mind. Here however, it is a side drum, whose hypnotic rhythms gradually come to dominate the drummer to a psychotic level. After the more serious fare of the main menu, dessert comes with the more humorous, "We're off to the Costalot". This is meant to border on the absurd. A group of British tourists get stuck in a road tunnel in sunny Spain ...weird things begin to happen.
