A paperback reissue of this wonderfully woeful novel - with new cover by David Roberts.

The very damp world of Tumblewater is home to some appallingly sick characters and goings-on, as newcome Daniel Dorey is quick to discover. Before he knows it, he is drawn into the town's vivid culture of storytelling, encountering a sinister tale at every twist and turn. But, Daniel comes to wonder, what is real and what is fiction?
