I really enjoyed this collection of short stories set in Scarborough. There was a likeable, and not so likeable, cast of characters and scenarios all set against the backdrop of Scarborough landmarks such as the Castle, the harbour, the Grand Hotel, the spa bridge and town centre. Each story was easy to read and an interesting mix of the contemporary and supernatural/sci-fi. If you like mermaids, ghosts, pavement monsters, killer cats and killer DJ sets, give it a whirl.
