The Moment of Panic

Cover art by Kai Otstak.

From a static caravan in Cheshire to a Tsar’s dacha in Russia...
From the foot of Mount Fuji to a council estate in North Wales...
From Christmas-time in the movie wonderland of Bedford Falls to a solitary Yuletide in a deserted public school...

The stories in The Moment Of Panic span continents and decades, but return again and again to the disorienting edge of things, the liminal spaces at the margins of our lives. Unwary protagonists find themselves cut out from the herd, forced into bizarre, ambiguous confrontations and instants of shocking awareness — twelve unforgettable moments of panic.
