Janie Cobweb was born in December 2007 as a character in a short story I wrote for the social networking site MySpace. At first (as you will see) she started as a precocious little girl, the sort who Victorian parents might have taken the birch to. But she took over, and for several weeks I produced a series of stories that ranged from light and frothy to dark and horrible. They are all, largely reworked, in this slim volume because I wanted them as a keepsake for myself and anyway, because they were so well received on MySpace, I thought it only right and proper to foist the wretched child onto an unsuspecting public. I make no claim that they are in any way literary masterpieces, though in places they’re not all that bad.
