BAD DREAMS - Tessa Hadley

Bad Dreams shows yet again that Tessa Hadley is a master of her art, one of the very finest writers at work in Britain today.

This new collection of short stories sees the ordinary become the most extraordinary. Small acts have large consequences, and some of them reverberate across decades; things fantasised in private can reach out to affect other people, for better and worse. The real things that happen to people, the accidents that befall them, are every bit as mysterious as their longings and their dreams.

The cover design incorporates a photograph by Marat Safin from Gallery Stock and has been given an unusual crop to echo the unease in many of the stories.

We have also redesigned Tessa’s backlist to match this look with many of the titles available now, and others due for publication soon.
