"Dennis Etchison's writing is a disturbing marvel." — Richard Christian Matheson"Horror's greatest inconoclast." — Garrett Peck"Dennis Etchison is one of the jewels of our field. He has raised the short story — whether it be supernatural, science fiction, psychological suspense, or, most provocatively, an indefinable combination of several or all of these — to a level of high artistry that, among current writers, perhaps only Ramsey Campbell and Thomas Ligotti can match." — S.T. Joshi"The finest writer of psychological horror this genre has produced." — Karl Edward WagnerFollowing his first two acclaimed collections, The Dark Country and Red Dreams, Etchison's much-anticipated third volume of wildly original stories continues to redefine modern horror. From the freeway off-ramps of Los Angeles to the darkest passages of the human heart, these are the visions of a writer whose imagination knows no boundaries.Published exclusively as a limited-edition hardcover in 1988, this legendary collection of dark fantasy tales is now available for the first time in 25 years.CONTENTS:"Call 666""A Nice, Shady Place""The Woman In Black""A Walk In the Wet""The Night of the Eye""The Spot""The Soft Wall""Somebody Like You""Bloodgame""Deadspace""Home Call"*"The Olympic Runner""The Blood Kiss"*(British Fantasy Award: Best Short Fiction, 1987)words : 67362
