Une écrivaine de fantasy récemment veuve se laisse guider à travers un hiver glacial par la voix de son défunt époux. Une dame âgée, victime d'hallucinations, apprend peu à peu à accepter la présence des petits hommes qui ne cessent de surgir à ses côtés tandis que des militants populistes se rassemblent pour mettre le feu à sa maison de retraite. Une femme née avec une malformation génétique passe pour un vampire. Un crime commis il y a longtemps se voit vengé dans l'Arctique par un stromatolithe vieux de 1,9 milliard d'années... Dans ce recueil composé de neuf contes poétiques et satiriques empreints d'une ambiance gothique, Margaret Atwood, la grande dame des lettres canadiennes, s'aventure dans des ténèbres explorées par des auteurs tels que Robert Louis Stevenson ou Daphné Du Maurier - ainsi que par elle-même, dans son roman Captive.
