Synopsis
In 'The Ossuary' and nineteen other stories, Steve Duffy evokes the Golden Age of the ghost story with practised ease. Set mainly in the period between the Wars, the stories in THE NIGHT COMES ON are consciously 'Jamesian' in style and setting. They feature libraries and academics and great old country houses, colleges and branch railway-stations and cathedrals; and, of course, any number of things less easily defined which lie in wait for the foolish, the unwary, or the unlucky.
