Beschreibung

May Sinclair's "Uncanny Stories" is a masterful collection that delves into the realms of the psychological and the supernatural, blending stark realism with eerie elements of the uncanny. Written during the early 20th century, Sinclair employs a narrative style that intersects modernist techniques with traditional storytelling, compellingly engaging with themes of identity, perception, and the human psyche. The stories challenge readers to confront their own fears and insecurities, embodying the tension prevalent in post-Victorian literature while foreshadowing the existential explorations of later writers. Sinclair, a pivotal figure in feminist literature and a contemporary of Virginia Woolf, used her literary career to explore the complexities of human emotion and consciousness. Her deep interest in psychology, influenced by her relationship with the burgeoning field of psychoanalysis, informs the unsettling atmosphere that permeates her work. Drawing from her own life experiences and observations of societal norms, Sinclair's stories reflect a personal and societal journey through the labyrinth of fear and the unknown. "Uncanny Stories" is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in thought-provoking and unsettling narratives that transcend mere horror. Sinclair's incisive exploration of the human condition reveals the complexities that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life, making this collection essential for both scholars of modern literature and casual readers alike.

    “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
      
    Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid. 
      
    Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player.

They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to … a dead buddy. 
      
    Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.
