The debut collection from Kev Harrison, author of THE BALANCE, this tome brings together tales of ghosts in the machine, folkloric creatures let loose, abandoned places and dystopian nightmares. Containing thirteen stories - three of which are previously unpublished, with three others never before available in print, take your first tentative step onto the PATHS BEST LEFT UNTRODDEN. Early praise for PATHS BEST LEFT UNTRODDEN: 'Wildly entertaining, deeply unsettling and utterly beguiling. These aren't just stories - they're ghosts, phantoms and revenants - all of which will continue to haunt long after reading.' - Ross Jeffery Bram Stoker Nominated author of JUNIPER and TOME. 'The breadth and depth of imagination showcased here invite comparison with classics like King's Night Shift, as well as more recent releases like Tananarive Due's Ghost Summer. But Harrison, ultimately, dances to the beat of a drum that's all his own.' - TC Parker, author of SALT BLOOD, A PRESS OF FEATHERS and SALVATION SPRING 'Kev Harrison's fiction disturbs and unsettles readers in equal measure. His stories smoulder in your mind, horrific burning embers. Don't take your eyes off this writer, he's getting better and better.' - Dan Howarth, author of DARK MISSIVES
