Every one of these twenty stories starts from nothing, fresh and innocent: washing up, a dull afternoon, a walk in the woods, a trip to a Perchten run, a visit to a flea market or a swingers' club, an exam badly disguised as a game. And always it is the same two, the narrator and Marianne, who end up facing a reality into which the unexpected breaks with all the terror of a nightmare. He wanders the muddy underground of a vast city, gropes through a sinister castle, or watches a massacre from the living room with Marianne after helping her with the dishes. The stories borrow from horror and fantasy.
