Is that Isla from Merryburn waving at you? Remember the sweet stories she used to tell the kids? Well the tales she shares with you now are different!
About Tarmac Lullaby
Who’s that waving at you from the other corner of the parking lot? Isn’t it Isla from Merryburn? It’s been years since you worked together at that school. Remember the sweet stories she used to tell the kids?
But the tales she shares with you now are different: blood-weeping daughters, tech-shackled crones, women kept hostage by the granite grey walls of their high-rise flats… Where are all these stories coming from, Isla? And who are they about?
A new urban horror from Crested Fools, the makers of ‘The Rotting Hart’ (★★★★★ Starburst Magazine) and ‘Becquer’s Legends’ (★★★★ Wee Review).
