Populated by strangers, ghosts, and other shadowy figures, "The Unsettling" attends to those startling moments when what we have understood as familiar is suddenly revealed as mysterious and foreign. A lonely man saving library books from an outbreak of mould listens to a co-worker's tale about a blind woman and imbues it with his own sense of romance; a woman drives a gold Firebird through the desert accompanied by a television on the passenger seat playing "Rockford Files" re-runs; a girl returns to her childhood home and spies on its new inhabitants, not realising they are aware of her surveillance; and a Poe-obsessed medical examiner brings hope to a dark and desperate city.
These are haunted tales about fascination, transformation, and the relationship between the two.
