The modest approval which greeted A Demon Close Behind from aficionados of uneasy tales has led to this further collection cut from roughly the same cloth. I note this time a greater emphasis on the television business which has been my background these past thirty years, but at least half a dozen of these stories will seem to follow the pattern laid down nearly a century ago by that doyen of ghost story writers M. R. James, and I have certainly gravitated more than once towards his favourite East Anglian setting. As before, incidents in real life have often formed the basis of my flights of fancy; but real life usually provides a ‘rational’ explanation.
