- Strange Tales, Volume
Three
-
- edited by
Rosalie Parker
-
- The strange tale is alive and
well and flourishing at the beginning of the
twenty-first century. These seventeen brand
new stories, representing the very best of
contemporary weirdness, range from the
mythical terror of Adam Golaski's 'The Great
Blind God Passing Through Us', to John
Gaskin's assured ghost story, 'Party Talk',
in which an elderly lady tells her disturbing
tale.
-
- Circus folk take in an
abandoned girl with unforeseen consequences
in Nina Allen's Machenian 'The Lammas Worm,'.
In 'Countess Otho', Reggie Oliver's actor
protagonist finds success after he inherits
the manuscript of an unproduced play: but
what is the precise cause, and the price, of
his new found fame? The curator of a dream
museum has an interesting appointment in Mark
Valentine's 'Morpheus House', while in 'Her
Father's Daughter', Simon Strantzas
thoroughly subverts the familiar horror trope
of a young woman seeking help at an isolated
farmhouse.

an anthology for any connoisseur of the
weird, the uncanny and the fascinating. Like

Supernatural
Tales 17

- "... the quality throughout is so
high that I would recommend this to any fans
of weird tales or dark
fiction." - Tales
from the Black Abyss.
-
- "...a wonderful
collection, and perhaps just as importantly,
the publication of the Strange Tales series
is an important act in the effort to more
firmly establish strange fiction in the mind
of the modern reader." -

stories apt to delight not only the
afficionados of horror and dark fantasy, but
