By Sunny G
Format:Paperback
A remarkable anthology of stories all around a single theme. The pick of the crop includes the Gene Wolfe story, Seven American Nights, Shirley Jackson's The Beautiful Stranger, Stephen King's Crouch End, The Hospice by Robert Aickman and the closing Philip K Dick story.
The theme underlying these and the others is that of an unspoken but underlying feeling that something is wrong in the fabric of our reality but to make the stories even more unnerving, there remains the doubt of whether the narrators or the subjects of the stories are relating something that is objectively real but worryingly wrong or whether they are victims of their own descent into insanity.
An unusual and arresting collection of works spanning nearly two hundred years.
