After Dark

A collection of short stories. After Dark is a combination of stories told by a painter who has collected interesting stories from different people who have sat for his portraits. Each story is given a context by the painter, who introduces the person who told the story. The person sitting for the portrait may just be re-telling the story themselves, and the painter has brought on their reminiscing through commenting on a specific object or building. It is an interesting book, again one that I was able to dip in and out of on the train as I went to and from school. Some of the stories were more interesting than others, and I especially enjoyed the final story 'The Yellow Mask'.
