The Stone Mirror
Ian Spring
A collection of short fictions, mostly about death, in which a man turns into a house (or vice versa), angels appear on the Earth (but far too often), Doctor Faust is undeniably damned (several times), decapitation (and cardiectomy) fail to prove fatal and various other literary ploys occur (or fail to occur).
Challenging and exhilarating Gothic fables mixing genres and fact and fiction. You are guaranteed to love them (or hate them).
Ian Spring
Ian Spring is a Glasgow-born academic and writer living in Perthshire. His books include Phantom Village, the Myth of the New Glasgow (1990) and Hamish Henderson and Scottish Folk Song (2016).
