  • The Keeping

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    Alaska, 1940. Vivian Marsh restores broken furniture; she reads made things the way other people read faces, and she has loved Josephine Ryder for six years without once managing to say so.

  • Coals At The Treeline

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    The winter has gone on too long. The herds have thinned to rumour, the drying-frames stand bare, and the ring of lodges pulls a little tighter each night around the one fire that is never allowed to die. Orn is young enough to still be sent out into the dark for water and fuel, and old enough to feel the cold reaching for the soft places behind the eyes.Then the taking begins — out at the far edge ...

  • Marrow

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    Autumn, 1947. A detective drives up into the mountains to a coal town called Marrow, to reopen the coldest case in the county: a school bus that vanished twenty-two years ago on a quarter-mile of open road—sixteen children and their driver, gone, with no wreck, no bodies, and no explanation anyone has ever been able to give.The town receives him kindly. Too kindly. The bell above the diner swings ... Read more

  • Grievance

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    Elder Cove lies in a fold of the old mountains, under a peak that breathes a blue smoke down the hollows at dusk. The people who were here before the settlers knew to keep off it. The settlers cleared and planted right up under it, and raised their children in its shadow, and have been paying for it ever since — a child a year, taken from beyond the low fences when the smoke comes down, in a voice ...

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    London, 1920. A newspaper columnist meets a woman twice — a bakery, a queue, the smell of flour, two pennies pushed back across the counter. Nothing is spoken. Nothing is promised. Then she is dead, and the small ordinary warmth of her becomes the one thing he cannot put down.Unable to write a word, he takes a room at Mereward — a beautiful, failing house in the west country that has, for ...

  • Out Of Season

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    Sixty-one, and certain of his hands, he has hunted the width of the world.

The small life of the country goes quiet, and then goes altogether, until there is nothing left in the valley that ... Read more

  • The Last Hunt

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    The winter comes down harder than anyone living has known it, and at first the wrongness is small enough to explain away. A wood gone too quiet. A sound in the night with no source. A footprint in fresh snow that no walking thing could have left.Ai's people know their world the way a hand knows its own fingers — the mammoth and the cave lion, the migrations, the killing cold. They tell one another ... Read more

  • The Memory Coast

    by Ian Ashcroft ...
    Ella and June have been together fifteen years, long enough to have stopped holding hands — to reach for a sleeve instead, a smaller and surer claim. They come to the village for rest: a painted town above a cold sea, where the snow never quite melts and orange leaves lie sealed under ice along the harbor wall. There are no clocks here. There are notebooks everywhere, and one rule, gently kept by ... Read more
