Ritual 1969 by Jo Mazelis
This third collection of stories from Jerwood Prize-winning author Jo Mazelis ups the tension by introducing an elusive strand of the otherworldly; whether the ghostly as in Caretakers and Storm Dogs, delusion and illusion, as in the strange workings of the characters' imagination in Ritual 1969, Levitation and Velvet, or the magic realism of Atlantic Exchange.
