Seven stories, seven empty homes. A level-headed narrator watches people who seem to be seriously weighing whether to lose their minds, and the stories lead the characters into the terrors of daily life, as they dissect what frightens them and others and expose the biases of anyone who, caught between alienation and an uneasy normal, studies the neighbours or the mirror.
