Description
Very modern ghost stories from the Booker-nominated author of The Wall.
Performed by Richard Armitage, Emila Fox, Anthony Boyle and Hugh Quarshie.
Household gizmos with a mind of their own.
Constant cold calls from unknown numbers.
And the creeping suspicion that none of this is real.
Reality, and Other Stories is a gathering of deliciously chilling entertainments - stories to be read as the evenings draw in and the days are haunted by all the ghastly schlock, uncanny technologies and absurd horrors of modern life.

Featured Reviews
I found this book enthralling and full of food for thought. Ghost stories that features a lot of technological aspects and plenty of social commentary.
Some are quite terrifying, all of them have got the right creepy factor.
The author is a talented storyteller and I loved his style of writing.
A fascinating read that I strongly recommend.
I loved the voices of the narrators and they added something special to the stories making them more fascinating and creepy.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
This was such a delightfully creepy and satirical collection of stories, all about the horror prevalent in modern day life. With stories ranging from comic horror, as a farming family must fend for themselves when their 'unit' breaks down, through to the philosophical, as a group of intellectuals ponder the existence of a reality simulacrum whilst drinking their frothy coffees in a trendy local cafe, down to the out and out horror of the title story, which features a particularly vicious reality T.V show. Each story was absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend this collection highly enough, particularly as we enter spooky season.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
