A FALSE IMPRESSION: I had to go outside. The air in the room had grown almost unbreathable from the cloying smoke; a mixture of hashish and incense. Normally I revelled in such an atmosphere, in the artificial light and warmth.

A WOMAN OF THE PARTY: Birgit made the mistake of sitting down and closing her eyes for a
few moments. She knew she shouldn't have done it because when she opened them again and tried to stand the room reeled around her.

AN UNCONVENTIONAL EXORCISM: My father was one of seven boys and all of them married young and went on to have large families of their own. Consequently I ended up with more uncles and aunts than I have ever been comfortable with, and the number of cousins was almost incalculable.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE: She was an odd-looking, insubstantial little thing; ill at ease in their company, sipping determinedly at a sparkling water that didn't seem to get any lower in her glass. Her attention was firmly fixed upon it.

GALA GLADKOV'S EXQUISITE PROCESS: When I heard the knock at the door on that Friday afternoon in early December I was in my workshop at the back of the house. I was carving some panels that were to form the backs of a set of chairs and the last thing I wanted was an interruption.

In 'An Unconventional Exorcism', why is a young woman who claims to talk to the dead so shocked when her aunt comes back to haunt her? In 'The Red Rose and the Cross of Gold', when an engineer in a crumbling city stumbles upon a messy murder, who cleans up afterwards? And in 'Mathilde', what do lovers do when everyone is against their relationship? These and other questions are explored in Russell's beautifully evocative prose.

REUNION: Shaffer returned home at five, just as it was getting dark. He had to put down his bags to unlock the front door, and picked them up again feeling annoyed that he had set so much homework for his pupils; after all, he was going to have to mark it all.

THE DRESS: I awoke this morning in what appeared to be a strange house and I lay between unfamiliar sheets trying to remember exactly where I might be. I was not especially worried at first.
