Twelve-year-old Brendan Bradshaw meets a mysterious, robe-clad stranger while walking in a wood near his home one damp autumn afternoon. The man shows him tantalising glimpses of things normally hidden to human eyes, and gives him some preliminary lessons in the nature of reality.

Each story in Time for Bedlam features something new and something familiar, from tales based on the myths of your childhood to brand new morality plays. These are stories designed to recall the emotions you felt when your parents warned you about the Scissorman, who would chop off your thumb if you kept sucking on it, or the monster under the bed, who would pull you down with it if you wet the mattress one more time.
