A boy is given a girl’s name so that he can escape the attention of malignant ghouls. A devout Catholic priest is suspected of hanky-panky with a submissive Chinese wife when she gives birth to an albino child. A young girl student dies before her English examinations, but still manages to write an out-of-point essay for the Cambridge Syndicate. From societal superstitions and the imagination come these 15 tales of the paranormal.

Et fint lille vindue ind til en anden kultur, hvor det overnaturlige er mere accepteret end det er i vores del af verden. Jeg var glad for de korte historier; nogle bedre end andre, men selvom uhyggen er til stede i bogen, var det stadig hyggeligt at læse. (jeg fandt det lettere at læse bogen end at høre den)
