In the vein of Richard Matheson's Shock collections and Stephen King's Night Shift, Coffin Dust culls twenty plus of David Daniel's short stories from the magazines where they first appeared. Varied in style and tone, these tales all possess, in the words of the late Theodore Sturgeon, ?a touch of the strange.' Moody, atmospheric, and sharply drawn, they present ordinary people who find themselves drawn into odd little corners of life. Daniel's previous works include White Rabbit, Reunion and The Marble Kite.
