Prepare yourself for a journey into the unexpected. Two strangers share an illicit passion following a chance encounter in a coffee shop; an aeroplane cabin sets the scene for an unlikely redemption; a demonic conspiracy complicates the familiar story of the faithful dog Hachiko; a costumed woman stands in the rain at a bus stop. The stories and poems in A Suspicious Collection collide the weird and the wonderful, clashing hope with despair, loyalty with betrayal, and starlight with the pulsing energy of the darkness that resides in every human heart.
