This book is the fifth original fiction collection from one of the
true eccentrics of modern British writing - stories that blend
erudite skill and a startling emotional intensity, classical
elegance and unexpected experimentation, sophisticated miserablism
and innocent beauty. A fairy tale as dark as they come amid a
shattering clash of two opposing and poisoned personalities. A
Meyrink-tinged dream of atavism and Italy that awakens the dreamer
to philosophy and fate. A quiet and perfectly observed journey
through the far reaches of Japan. Myth-working fantasy haunted by
the motley ghosts of Lord Dunsany and Matsuo Basho, and by the imps
of postmodernism. A vision of the afterlife where heaven and hell
are entwined in torturous symbiosis. The sinister Black Dog
folklore re-imagined as a cosmology of thanatophobia. For all the
diversity of styles in evidence, they are united by the author's
distinctive voice - a window into a crepuscular human world torn
between magic and reality, earth and infinity.
