One theory weaves like a constant thread of darkness through human history…the rumour of an ancient race, more powerful than we are: elusive, terrifying, offering sexual frenzy but bringing madness and death. These are the tales of the Weerde. They gather at the edges of our settlements; they appear nightly on TV. They are not werewolves…but they are the shape-shifting predators of which occult legend speaks. They are plausible, charming, different…and very very dangerous. In this volume, eleven chilling tales that expose the terrifying truth behind the conspiracy: The Lady And/Or The Tiger I, Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney; A Wolf To Man, Roz Kaveney; Sunflower Pump, Paul Cornell; Rain, Chris Amies (as by Christopher Amies); What God Abandoned, Mary Gentle; To The Bad, Brian Stableford; A Strange Sort Of Friend, Josephine Saxton; Railway Mania, Michael Fearn; Blind Fate, Liz Holliday; A Change Of Season, Storm Constantine; Going To The Black Bear, Colin Greenland; Ancient Of Days, Charles Stross; The Lady And/Or The Tiger II, Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney.
