Robert Aickman's self - described strange stories are confoundingly and uniquely his own. These superbly written tales terrify not with standard thrills and gore but through a radical overturning of the laws of nature and everyday life. His territory of the strange of the void behind the face of order is a surreal region that grotesquely mimics the quotidian: Is that river the Thames or is it even a river? What does it mean when a prospective lover removes one dress and then another and then another? Does a herd of cows in a peaceful churchyard contain the souls of jilted women preparing to trample a cruel lover to death? Published for the first time under one cover the stories in this collection offer an unequaled introduction to a profoundly original modern master of the uncanny.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Compulsory Games\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Nelson Victoria\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The New York Review Of Books Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781681371894\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 160 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/8\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Short Stories","brand":"Nelson Victoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52428635275569,"sku":"IN-G-9781681371894","price":26.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781681371894.jpg?v=1769408824","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781681371894-compulsory-games","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
