Toadstones (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Eric Williams | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Bloody haruspicy as an archeological technique. The violent premier of a film star's lost noir masterpiece. A housekeeper's final job for her late employer. An exhumation to retrieve a poetry manuscript. Ghosts haunting atomic test sites of the American west. The dangers facing podcasters, mud loggers, and rural veterinarians. Landlords and gods and rocks and monsters.

Toadstones is a collection of short stories firmly in the tradition of the weird tale. They evoke the sensation of catching an unnerving movement out of the corner of your eye, of hearing a sudden and unidentifiable skittering in the walls, of dreaming about a strange city where you meet someone you would have sworn died long ago. Explore the uncanny shadows occluding what we thought was a mundane world in these sixteen (that's twice eight, or four fours; are you tracking the numerology?) stories.

Destined to be an underworld classic, these stories by everyone's favorite anarchocommunist calling upon the aid of Hell will have you believing in the unbelievable-and thinking twice before you let another repair guy in your house.
