Beschreibung

Algernon Henry Blackwood (14 March 1869 – 10 December 1951) was an English broadcasting narrator, journalist, novelist and short story writer, and among the most prolific ghost story writers in the history of the genre. The literary critic S. T. Joshi stated, "His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's." and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century".

    When a bloody corpse is discovered in a North London park, Detective Inspector Daniel Graves is the man tasked with finding the killer. However, with no clues and no suspects, the case seems like a dead end. Then another body turns up—and this time, it looks like it could be Graves’s fault. Has his investigation caused the murderer to strike again? Is he dealing with a serial killer? As the case gets ever more complicated, a report comes in of another suspicious death—but this is nothing like any other Graves has dealt with. All involved are convinced that something supernatural is to blame: a demon. Graves is no believer, but could he be wrong? With two cases on his shoulders and the truth behind each beyond his grasp, Graves must race against time before both killers—human or otherwise—strike again.

    George Campbell retreats into the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tent, hoping to escape the pressures of work. Deep in the forest, he stumbles upon a mysterious crystalline cube with strange, mesmerizing qualities — the longer he looks at it, the brighter it glows, gradually pulling him into a hypnotic trance. The object reminds him of the legendary Eltdown Shards, ancient texts said to describe similar cubes used by an otherworldly race to send their minds across the cosmos in search of knowledge. 
    The creator of the story was the young Julius Schwartz, publisher of the fanzine "Fantasy Magazine," who asked a group of well-known writers to create a multipart story based on the given title - each writer was to write one segment. One group of authors was to create a work in the spirit of science fiction, while the rest (including Lovecraft) - in the spirit of supernatural or fantasy tales. 
    C. L. Moore started the story. Then, Frank Belknap Long wrote his part. The next in line, the highest-paid writer among them all, A. Merritt, declared that Long had deviated too much from the title's essence in his development of the story. Merritt set a condition: either Long's portion would be rejected and replaced with his fragment, or he would withdraw from the project. Schwartz couldn't afford to lose such a prominent name, so he thanked Long. Of course, Merritt's contribution was minimal, and to advance the plot, Lovecraft had to intervene, creating the longest fragment of them all. The rest was completed by Robert E. Howard and – convinced by H.P. Lovecraft to return – Frank Belknap Long.

    A swirling, psychedelic, bleakly funny fugue by the Booker-shortlisted author of The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto 
    Una Fogarty, suffering from dementia in a seaside nursing home, would be all alone without her brother Dan, whose epic free-verse monologue tells their family story. Exile from Ireland and immigrant life in England. Their mother’s trials as a call girl. Young Una’s search for love in a seemingly haunted hippie squat, and the two-timing Scottish stoner poet she’ll never get over. Now she sits outside in the sun as her memories unspool from Dan’s mouth and his own role in the tale grows ever stranger— and more sinister. 
    A swirling, psychedelic, bleakly funny fugue, Patrick McCabe’s epic reinvention of the verse novel combines Modernist fragmentation and Beat spontaneity with Irish folklore, then douses it in whiskey and sets it on fire. Drinking song and punk libretto, ancient as myth and wholly original, Poguemahone is the devastating telling of one family’s history—and the forces, seen and unseen, that make their fate.
