Tales From Harker House

Eight stories from the world of The Quiet Service:

• A cat declared dead in 2003 keeps coming home

• A fire station inherits a duty older than the service itself

• A mural on Sheppey begins receiving offerings

• A bridge remembers a rule about passage

• Sunflowers grow where they cannot

• A black dog watches the dead

• A wartime breach refuses to be repaired

• And a child on a woodland road asks strangers to come and play.

Tales from Harker House brings together eight standalone investigations of the Betwixt, old agreements and ordinary British places that have acquired definitions of their own.
