A masterful collection of supernatural and ghost stories, Things in Corners presents Ruth Park's singular talent for weaving quiet dread into the fabric of everyday Australian life. Each tale uncovers something unsettling lurking just beneath the surface of the ordinary — in shadowed rooms, forgotten places, and the margins of the familiar world. Park crafts her narratives with a restrained, atmospheric tension that makes the uncanny feel disturbingly plausible, drawing young adult and adult readers alike into her carefully constructed unease. Written with elegant precision, the stories illustrate how fear is most potent when it hides in plain sight, in the corners we instinctively avoid looking at too closely.
