Devis, Writer; 1813. viii. 38 p.; 8 . 11779.c.69.
Seven stories, seven poems, by eight original authors, each piece
leaving you in no doubt that that there is something sinister going
on behind the scenes.
There is a man who fears for his sanity and starts a journal,
there's a witness to something that hasn't happened, a couple come
under an Egyptian influence, there's a cottage that isn't the nice
place in the countryside it ought to be, a train journey you would
die for and a marionette you wouldn't wish on anyone. All of these
stories interspersed by incredibly dark poems.
It's Sinister by name and sinister by nature.
