Following Michael Anderson's popular anthology of Crime entitled Murder and Mayhem, sit back and let yourself be transported to other worlds and places that exist only in the mind, where the impossible becomes frighteningly possible. Meet a primitive tribe whose world is turned upside down with fatal consequences by the discovery of a puzzling object. Encounter aliens of all kinds, good, bad and deadly, a lady whose special gift is a mixed blessing, a man who inherits a curious object, and a country that holds the rest of the world to ransom. The author promises you a Close Encounter of the scary kind with each one.
