Sick of sighing at the namby-pampy vampires and hipster witches in
mainstream fiction? Of the supernatural stoically resisting its own
evil? Parthian and The Ghastling magazine decided to take matters
into our own hands with a call to arms for some proper gothic
fiction. Fall into the dreamlike realities of absinthe and madness.
Meet intoxicating women and mermaids that aren't as charming as
they seem...Between these pages, blurring the lines of good and
evil, the monstrous reality and the monstrous imagine, are gothic
stories for modern times. Here, buildings pursue their own
malevolent intents; a grieving father and daughter receive an
unexpected and grisly visitor; a man is unravelled by strange
symbolism in a twilit park; and a botanist will stop at nothing to
safeguard her borders. Which one will leave you haunted? Thirteen
tales of the contemporary gothic, including work by: Alan Bilton,
author of the surreal novels The Known and Unknown Sea (Cillian
Press, 2014) and The Sleepwalkers' Ball (2009). Somerset Maugham
Prize-winner Mark Blayney. Carly Holmes, author of The Scrapbook
(Parthian, May 2014). Jo Mazelis, author of Diving Girls (Parthian,
2002) which was short-listed for Commonwealth Best First Book and
Welsh Book of the Year; Circle Games (Parthian, 2005) and
Significance (Seren, September 2014).
