Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Hard Cover. Tartarus Press 2015. Limited Edition. Book condition: NM - Near Mint. Dust Jacket. None illustrations. Dust Jacket condition: NM - Near Mint. Speculative fiction is by definition in the vanguard of contemporary writing and particularly suited to the short story form. This fifth volume of Strange Tales from Tartarus includes seventeen new stories by eight British and nine North American authors, some well-known and others up-and-coming in the field. As in previous volumes in this series, a wide range of literary strange fiction is represented here, from the science fiction of Charles Wilkinson's 'The Investigation of Innocence', to the historical fantasy-horror of Elise Forier Edie's 'You Go Back', to the stream-of-consciousness, psychological weirdness of Andrew Apter's 'The Man Who Loved Flies' to the evocative sleight of hand that is Mark Valentine's 'Yes, I Knew the Venusian Commodore'. These are, by any measure, superb short stories, and it is hoped that Strange Tales V will further the cause of contemporary speculative fiction and help introduce it to a wider audience. Containing: 'The Investigation of Innocence' by Charles Wilkinson, 'Julie' by L.S. Johnson, 'The Grave House' by Steve Rasnic Tem, 'A Life in Plastic' by Andrew Hook, 'Bardo Thodol Backup File' by Jacurutu:23, 'More Than India' by John Howard, 'You-Go-Back' by Elise Forier Edie, 'Stranger Must Go' by Douglas Penick, 'Beatrice Faraway's Christmas Tale' by Paul Bradley, 'Henge' by David Rix, 'Yes, I Knew the Venusian Commodore' by Mark Valentine, 'Mary Alice in the Mirror' by Yarrow Paisley, 'The Taxidermist's Tale' by Tara Isabella Burton, 'The Man Who Loved Flies' by Andrew Apter, 'Purses' by Nathan Alling Long, 'Look for the Place Where the Ivy Rises' by Tom Johnstone, 'McBirdy' by David McGroarty. 296 pages.
