In ‘Myth’ the shame of being made redundant seems to have robbed David Meacher of vitality. Then, on a trip abroad, he becomes fascinated with an ancient map of the Garden of Eden. Returning to England, his obsession only increases and even re-energises him…but it is not a force for good.In ‘The Astronomical Scarf’ a magnificent silk scarf, deepest blue and with the constellations of the night-sky patterned in silver across it, is weirdly destined to pass through many hands, and to shape many destinies.In ‘Walter’s Leg’ his grandchildren’s persistent questioning leads Walter to reminisce on a distant childhood escapade – in which he was shot in the leg. The memory provokes a desire to track down the perpetrator, but without a thought for the consequences.Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection Piranha To Scurfy.]]>
