Stories of the Strange and Sinister collects ten of Baker's short stories and displays the versatility of his work. Included are wonderfully macabre tales like 'The Chocolate Box', in which a discarded box found on a Cornish moor contains a gruesome surprise, and 'In the Steam Room', where a man enjoying a sauna believes he glimpses a horrible event through the steam, as well as more subtle tales of the fantastic like 'My Lady Sweet, Arise', in which a woman's compulsion to sing ends with strange consequences, and 'Quintin Claribel', the story of a rude young man who must -- quite literally -- eat his words.
