13) Darkness Audible, by Graham Andrews

Graham is a well-known figure in Belfast sf circles who actually lives around the corner from where we first lived when we moved to Belgium. This novel is a collection of short stories, most set in Ireland (esp Northern Ireland), linked by a narrative where they are told by a writer who is undergoing psychoanalysis. They are generally not bad at all, but the ‘stylistc quirk’ of ‘frequently’ putting words and phrases in ‘inverted commas’ annoyed me.
