Dancing with the Devil - David Garner

Dancing with the Devil is a collection of five short stories linked by the theme of desire, its manifestations and outcomes. Ranging in time from the late 1930s to the present day, the locations vary between England, France and the Russo-Polish border. In these diverse settings the stories explore the nature of personal relationships and how they are tested and exploited. And, as events unfold, the characters are not always what they seem. Propelled by the infinite complexity of human emotions, they are drawn inexorably into a web of desire, obsession, duplicity and revenge.
