About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, [1994]. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (28324). Posthumous collection of eleven stories including "The Cat" which is first published here. Companion volume to DEMONS AND SHADOWS: THE GHOSTLY BEST STORIES OF ROBERT WESTALL. "Westall's adolescents are sympathetic characters who understand differences between the worlds of adults and children, and their difficult dealings with parents and teachers often parallel their puzzlement by inscrutable supernatural forces. They command reader sympathy and identification, and their adventures show how closely the concerns of sophisticated young adult fiction and the subtle traditional tale of terror are to one another." - Stefan Dzeimianowicz in Neil Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 6-387.
