Cheer the Sick - Paperback

by Verity Holloway (Author)

"The dissection of the unexplained, I believe, is the scientist's anchor. Like inclement weather, the inexplicable may take many forms, and what may begin as a spatter of rain is liable to become a typhoon in an instant. In climates such as these we must hold fast, with all the cool-headed dignity we can muster.

Nevertheless, I am resolved to burn these pages."

A bedridden camgirl possesses a divine gift; a Victorian warship is haunted by a ghost who knows too much; a miraculous drug is extracted from a captured satyr; a soldier would rather face monsters than her past.

From the author of Pseudotooth and The Others of Edenwell, sixteen unsettling tales of the sickly, the desperate, and the doomed.
