A rarely-seen anthology drama series featuring stories full of menace and black humour, Tales of Unease avoids overt horror for a subtler and altogether more unsettling sense of the uncanny. This atmospheric series features stories from novelist John Burke, playwright Michael Hastings, A Bouquet of Barbed Wire's Andrea Newman and James Leo Herlihy – author of Midnight Cowboy.
