In "A Blackness Absolute", Caitlin Marceau offers us eight creepy and fantastical tales. She weaves her narrative deftly and obviously does the research required to get the details right; this is particularly evident in tales like "In Obeisance Park" and "Doireann". My personal favourite, however, is "Sarah", a tale about a girl with a cleft lip and an impending birthday party. If you've not read Caitlin's work before, this is a great place to start.
