This new collection of eight short stories will appeal to fans of the macabre and the sinister, as many characters come to a sticky end. There are unintended consequences when a pioneering brain surgeon decides to treat his dog with human stem cells after a road accident leaves her with severe head injuries. An unscrupulous farmer gets more than he bargains for when he buys a revolutionary new tractor. A chance purchase of a pair of shoes in a secondhand shop changes Toby from a victim to an aggressor.
