About This Item
Dublin: Swan River Press, 2023. First edition, Hardcover, SIGNED, Limited, New in dust jacket,. Meggan Kehrli. Dublin: Swan River Press:, 2023. First edition, Hardcover, SIGNED, Limited, New in dust jacket, 217 pp.<br/> Cover artwork by: Meggan Kehrli This edition limited to 450 copies signed by the editor. "'Ghost stories,' as Elizabeth Bowen observed, "are not easy to write-least easy now, for they involve more than they did." But these eleven writers take up the challenge, each in their own way, with expert awareness of the genre's limitless possibilities. Uncertainties is an anthology series-featuring authors from Ireland, France, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom-each exploring the concept of increasingly fragmented senses of reality. These types of short stories were termed 'strange tales' by Robert Aickman, called 'tales of the unexpected' by Roald Dahl, and known to Shakespeare's ill-fated Prince Mamillius as 'winter's tales'. But these are no mere ghost stories. These tales of the uncanny grapple with existential epiphanies of the modern day, when otherwise familiar landscapes become sinister and something decidedly less than certain . . .
