Unexpected Tales Steven Battersby

This anthology of short stories is a remarkable collection of fourteen tales, as varied as the authors who have contributed to it. Who is the stranger on Coffin Path, is there such a thing as the perfect murder, and what lies beyond the barn? Will buried treasure solve a broken marriage, will the temptation to steal the drink of the gods be too great, and can an orchestra unite to overcome its squabbles over a weaker player in their midst? From thrillers and chillers to mythology and folk tales, from westerns and sci-fi to detective stories and even a dash of romance, the variety in this anthology will not only entertain you but will also highlight the trials, struggles and dilemmas faced by ordinary people from all walks of life. Perhaps there is even a tale about you? When you buy a copy of this anthology you can be happy in the knowledge that you will be supporting a great cause, because all the authors' profits will be donated to a hospice in Oxford, England that cares for terminally ill children and young adults.
