Tales of the Weird contains three out-of-the-ordinary stories: Someone Else tells what happens when a middle-level finance director decides to restart his life from scratch and undergoes a kind of metamorphosis. The High Roller tells of the three days of debauchery that herald a weak-willed womaniser’s descent into the depths of depravity. I’m the One Who’s Bad tells of a young concert pianist’s morbid passion for an older woman that unfolds as they are waiting to be rescued in a lifeboat after a serious shipping accident.
