1 rating

This is a collection of ten chilling tales of modern malevolence, each rooted in the everyday experiences of contemporary city life. The city consists only of car parks, nightclubs, taxis, bright pavements, laughing people, ringing telephones - but in its very ordinariness there lurks its greatest terror. Behind the most ordinary urban landscape lies a place where reality stops and nightmare begins.
