About this book✨
The only short story collection by Nigel Kneale, Tomato Cain blends folklore, superstition, and the uncanny—drawing from Kneale’s childhood on the Isle of Man to craft tales that feel both timeless and unsettling. A haunting prelude to the eerie brilliance he’d later bring to his novels Quatermass and The Stone Tape.
