A boy is put on a train by his stepmother to make his first journey on his own.

But these are stories with a difference - and each is more deliciously chilling than the last ... Who is this mysterious storyteller, and why are her tales so dark and macabre?

Media Reviews
Inventive, deadpan, sardonic and cruel, [Tales of Terror] From the Tunnel's Mouth is a creepy autumnal treat * James Lovegrove, Financial Times *
The stories are spine-chilling thrillers ... a wonderfully nightmarish journey of the imagination - old-fashioned storytelling at its best * Daily Mail *
It's a classic in the making * Nicola Smyth, Independent on Sunday *
