Second story in here, Shepherds' Business by Stephen Gallagher is an understated affair. It builds its small community well, developing to an unsettling conclusion. You always get the idea that there's more going on behind the scenes, and when it comes to the conclusion it's almost unbearable to thing about.

I'm going to be ducking in and out of this book from time to reading reading the stories in the order presented. First up is Alison Littlewood's The Boggle Hole.
While it's not a story that is scary, it is one that evokes a feeling of sadness and loss. Tim and Grandad are well-drawn and the idea of the Boggle well delivered. It's a subtle horror, and because the story sticks to the rules it establishes, it works.
