A young woman plots her way onto the latest reality TV programme, where murderers are publicly executed using similar methods to those committed in their crimes.A child carefully crawls through a world of plastic waste in search of water for her whānau but knows she won’t make it if the blood-drinking seagulls catch a glimpse of her.Mice conspire with a seamstress to bring her dead fiancé back to life using an old English tradition.Short. Readable. Nasty. Woven with remnants of ancient fairytales, the short stories in Kaleidoscopes in the Dark paint the darker elements of the psyche in technicolour.
