When, in 1940, Saul Prior receives a letter from Lady Caroline Degabaston to catalogue the library of Thool Abbey in Hertfordshire, he jumps at the chance. But he soon finds himself in a realm that seems cut off from the real world. In the cryptic fastnesses of the abbey, Prior is beset by bizarre dreams and seems incapable of leaving the place. Lady Caroline proves to be a baleful and mysterious presence, and Prior is mired in a landscape that mingles Gothic terror and surrealism.
The actual books that Prior is tasked with cataloguing are themselves a farrago of occultism, psychological aberration, and cosmic horror. And when other presences manifest themselves in and around the castle, Prior knows that he has stumbled into an adventure that is unlikely to end short of death or madness.
Mark Samuels has knitted together many of the themes that appear in his previous work into a grand synthesis of dread and awe. Impeccably written, with careful attention to historical detail and the portrayal of the strange characters he puts on stage, Witch-Cult Abbey is a triumph of supernatural terror.

Автор: Samuels Steven Название: American Arcade; or, How To Shoot Yourself in the Face: (An Outrage in Two Acts) ISBN: 1952720028 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781952720024 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 22950.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A dark stage comedy about the contemporary American family, business, sexuality, race relations, psychiatry, and organized crime, Steven Samuels' "American Arcade; or, How To Shoot Yourself in the Face" concerns the Hamlet-like Harry Hunter, a young manufacturer of old-fashioned shooting gallery games struggling to sustain his beloved past, his family, and what remains of his sanity while the confounding present explodes in his face.
In the one crazy day on which this play takes place, Harry tries to maintain the failing American Arcade Company bequeathed him by his late father, who may or may not have been a suicide. Harry is literally haunted by his father, and the other people who plague his life--including his spendthrift mother, cold wife, distant daughter, lackluster assistant, and Freudian analyst, and an old family friend: a Mafia don who shows up unexpectedly--appear as often in Harry's fantasies as in what passes for his real life. Their concerns--mostly money and sex--combine with Harry's fears of war, environmental destruction, and the depersonalization of human interactions brought on by our overindulgence in the brave new world of screens, to drive him at least half mad as he strives to solve his problems and the mystery of his father's death.A strange cross, tonally, between family dramas such as "Death of a Salesman," Charles Ludlam's antic farces, and the black humor of Joe Orton, "American Arcade" constitutes its own genre, which Samuels calls "An Outrage." A huge part of the fun comes from a set dominated by a wall from which Harry's fantasy figures pop out, la Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In". Like a Coney Island of the mind, "American Arcade" is one wild ride.

For the past two decades, British author Mark Samuels has written some of the most vibrant and challenging weird fiction of any contemporary writer. But his work--collected in such volumes as The White Hands and Other Weird Tales (2003), The Man Who Collected Machen (2010), and Written in Darkness (2014)--has by and large appeared in limited editions not widely distributed in the United States.
This volume features seventeen of Samuels's best weird stories. Several display his fascination with technology, advertising, and urban horror, as in "Apartment 205" and the title story. Other tales speak of the writing of weird fiction itself as a potentially hazardous and supernatural enterprise, as in "The White Hands" and "Vrolyck."
In several of his lengthier narratives--notably "The Gentleman from Mexico" and "The Crimson Fog"--Samuels draws upon H. P. Lovecraft's pseudomythology to venture into realms of cosmic horror. "The Black Mould" and "My World Has No Memories" are distinctively existential tales of undeniable potency.
Mark Samuels is one of the pioneering weird writers of today, and this selection makes plain why he has few rivals in the portrayal of the horrors that are unique to our troubled age.
