Stories in the Dark
Debra Oswald

A terrified 12-year-old boy finds himself separated from his family in the unfamiliar streets of a war-torn city. Into his life steps Anna—older, street smart and scornful of his crying.

Three lost children discover an abandoned orphanage in the bush and become trapped in a timeless world, haunted by spirits of the past and tormented by the ominous Black Skirt, a cruel governess harbouring a mysterious past.
