Often the most powerful and moving stories are generated by writers who return time and again to a particular idea, theme, or image. Obsession in a writer's imagination can lead to accomplishment or to self-destruction. Consider Poe and his pale, dead bride; his fascination with confinement and mortality; his illness and premature death. Or Flannery O'Connor's far less soul-crushing fondness for peacocks. Some writers pay a high price for their obsessions, while others maintain a crucial distance. Whichever the case, obsessions can produce compelling fiction.
Little Visible Delight is an anthology of original stories in which eleven authors of dark fiction explore some their most intimate, writerly obsessions.

The Moon Will Look Strange (Paperback): Lynda E. Rucker The Moon Will Look Strange (Paperback)
Lynda E. Rucker
R407 Discovery Miles 4 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The laughter of a dead child echoes down the winding streets of a town in Spain... A mysterious stranger makes increasingly disquieting visits to a lonely English instructor in Central Europe... A woman experiences her own literal disintegration as someone - or something - from her past takes over her life...but who is the possessed and who is possessing? In return for the ability to touch the miraculous, the residents of an isolated mountain community are busily manufacturing items they don't understand in preparation for a future they cannot imagine... With eight reprints from the pages of such publications as Black Static, The Third Alternative, and Supernatural Tales and three original tales, this chilling debut collection by Lynda E. Rucker will fill you with unease and unsettle your dreams. "Lynda Rucker's great talent is that she is able to carefully build a perceptive portrayal of the real world and in the process of that exploration find that edge where the everyday dissolves and the numinous begins. Her compelling execution of this transition strongly echoes the work of Robert Aickman." - Steve Rasnic Tem
