A collection of seventeen narratives explores the intersection of the mundane and the supernatural through characters grappling with internal and external disturbances. Each story centers on individuals navigating psychological or spiritual crises, ranging from a pregnant psychic to a woman fixated on tribal lore. The narratives operate within a framework of shifting realities, where the boundaries between the physical world and the spectral or obsessive mind blur. The prose maintains a focus on the internal states of these characters as they confront their specific fears and existential anxieties.

Readers and critics frequently note the sharp, observant quality of the prose in these seventeen stories. Discussion often centers on the author's ability to balance the mundane details of life with the intrusion of the supernatural or the obsessive. Critics highlight the effectiveness of the varied voices, which successfully convey a sense of wavering reality throughout the collection. The work is often praised for its focus on character development, though some readers may find the pacing deliberate due to the emphasis on internal psychological states rather than external action.
