Call them transcripts of dreams or deadly accurate maps of the
tremor zones of the psyche, the seven stories in this collection
engage and implicate us in the most fearful ways imaginable. A
two-timing pornographer becomes an unwilling object in the
fantasies of one of his victims. A jaded millionaire buys himself
the perfect mistress and plunges into a hell of jealousy and
despair. And in the course of a weekend with his teenage daughter,
a guilt-ridden father discovers the depths of his own blundering
innocence. At once chilling and beguiling, and written in prose of
lacerating beauty, In Between the Sheets is a tour de force by one
of England's most acclaimed practitioners of literary unease.
