Shorlisted for Best Collection and the British Fantasy Awards 2017
A collection of stories inspired by the “counting Magpies” song.
One for sorrow,
Two for luck; (or mirth)
Three for a wedding,
Four for death; (or birth)
Five for silver,
Six for gold;
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told;
Eight for heaven,
Nine for hell
And ten for the devil’s own self
“Pete Sutton has a talent for the fantastic.” – Paul Cornell (Shadow Police series, This Damned Band, Doctor Who, Elementary)
“…there is a sweet and subtle music to Sutton’s stories. They take you to strange places.” – Mike Carey (Lucifer, The Unwritten, The Girl with all the Gifts, Fellside)
“As if Raymond Carver turned his hand to writing science fiction.” – David Gullen (Clarke Award judge)
Due to KGHH going out of business this book is now available in a new edition published by Grimbold Books.
