Folk whose mental equilibrium is temporarily disturbed; those who are plain crazy in latter-day asylums or modern mental hospitals; the mad, the bad and the dangerous who must be locked up for their own safety or that of others - all have a tale to tell. In "Body Parts" a woman is driven mad by her attempt at gaining a full body transplant; "Bookwurmery" deals with a man whose library is invaded by a giant bookwurm; "Don't Touch the Handles" is about an asylum employee who believes that mental illness may be caught like a germ; "The Qliphoth" is concerned with someone who is impregnated by a giant wasp; "The Shadowflakes" has to do with the disappearance of places and people; "Moving House" is on the subject of houses which vanish; "Ixion's Wheel" regards a poor lost soul who is consigned to an asylum in error. Voices from the past and nowadays relate their experiences of insanity or unreality or both for there is always a question as to whether they have experienced weird occurrences or are merely mad. Whether or not they are is an open question...
