The settings and characters in Reggie Oliver's fifth collection of 'strange' stories are as varied and unusual as ever, though, as in previous volumes, the theatre forms the milieu of a number of his tales. But the theatres are not just English ones, in the provinces and the West End: one is on the Black Sea; another in post-colonial Kenya.

The deathly silence is about to be broken. She disliked the company of others and death did little to warm her spirit. She had led an independent life and she faced death in much the same way. She was finally alone, finally free from the mindless babble of others, at least that's what she thought. May Elizabeth Trump was the rarest of spirits and she was none too happy about it either.

Toby Miller just hung up the phone with his wife, Anna 20 minutes ago. When it rings again, the voice calling from his wife’s phone isn’t Anna. “Mister Miller, your wife’s been in an accident.” Toby makes a promise to honor Anna’s last wish that he carries out their dream of living in the mountains of Tennessee, follow his own goals and, as paranormal enthusiasts, to “keep chasing ghosts.” When he settles into his “Forever House,” the house is anything but settled. Instead of chasing ghosts on investigations, he’s the one being chased.

Toby and Alex are trapped in a place they thought would help them. Alex has been threatened by an entity strong enough to silence the chaotic apparitions that have haunted Toby’s house. What did they mean? Was it more of a warning than a threat? The only guidance they have now is an absurd directive, and this is no time for riddles to solve. They must figure what it means. And they must do it fast. An unexpected source offers to help, but what could they possibly do that hasn’t already been done?
