<p>A woman finds a body in a park. A girl watches for witches next door. A cruel town turns against a young mother while a man kills with humour. A teenager tries to keep a library alive in a world where paper crumbles; a cursed piece of jewellery changes necks. </p><p><em>Beside the River Styx</em> brings together nine dark twisty and comically criminal tales. If you like creepy magic heart-breakingly human moments and a touch of black humour then you'll love Helen Vivienne Fletcher's new short story collection.</p>
