On the Edges of Vision by Helen Mcclory

In On the Edges of Vision, unease sounds itself in the language of legend. Images call on memory, on the monstrous self. In Helen McClory's daring debut collection, the skin prickles against sweeps of light or darkness, the fantastic or the frightful; deep water, dark woods, or scattered flesh in desert sand. Whether telling of a boy cyclops or a pretty dead girl, drowned sailors or the devil himself, each story draws the reader towards not bleakness but a tale half-told, a truth half-true: that the monster is human, and only wants to reach out and take you by the hand.
Helen McClory lives in Edinburgh and grew up between there and the Isle of Skye. Her debut, On the Edges of Vision, won the Saltire First Book of the Year 2015. She has since published Mayhem & Death and The Goldblum Variations, following Jeff around the known (& unknown) universe. There is a moor and a cold sea in her heart.
