An anthology featuring stories that take the reader deep into the strangeness of the landscape, where reality flickers like summer's heat. An empty car with a door hanging open by an endless field of wheat; shimmering heat at midsummer, when something walks unseen in the sunlight; a sense of presence in the view below you as you reach the crest of a hill and look down upon... a story yet untold.

About the Authors

"Shadows on the Hillside is a sightseeing odyssey into the literary strange. The anthology is dysfunctional in all its lucidity, where summer evenings stretch and stark black hills deadstare against a blood sky at weathered sandhills and tors in a beauty of heartache and place." - Aurealis
