Hell & Other Novels

The New Gothic - behind our everyday, apparently rational preoccupations lie the traces of a longing for sanctity and redemption. In these haunting, often chilling short stories, Beverley Daurio maps the sub-atomic space of contemporary alienation: a woman celebrates her divorce; a photographer trying to stay off drugs visits a monastery; a historian avoids facing her son's disappearance and discovers that miracles are still possible.
