Ranging from flash fiction to novelette, these stories are inturn chilling, playful, and melancholy. Every tale is rich with landscapeshaunted by loss and longing.
Carly Holmes Knihy
Tento autor žije na západnom pobreží Walesu a skúma temné zákutia ľudskej psychiky. Jeho diela sa často zaoberajú tajomnom a nadprirodzenom, pričom sa nebojí ponoriť do hororových motívov. Autorov štýl je prenikavý a evokatívny, navodzuje atmosféru napätia a neistoty. Vyznačuje sa záľubou v budovaní napätia a v používaní tajomných prvkov na preskúmanie skrytých strachov.
Unhappily married mother of four, Annie is drowning in domestic servitude. She often wonders what her life could have been had she not had children, but when her youngest daughters perform a seemingly impossible act of levitation, her life is touched with magic and she realises that her girls are truly special and that she must protect them. Eventually Annie musters the courage to leave the wreck of her marriage, but she commits a terribly unthinkable, unmotherly act along the way. Crow Face, Doll Face explores being forced to live with the consequences of the decisions we make and the fantasies we construct to soothe ourselves when the life we live falls far short of the life we planned.
