Product Description

A collection of short stories which tear through the archives of cinema, of art and of the subconscious. A young Lizzie Borden visits the circus; a pianist makes a Faustian pact in a fly-blown Southern brothel; and a transfigured Mary Magdalene steps out of the canvases of Donatello and de la Tour.

Customer Reviews

Wonderfully strange stories to set your mind alight.
Most of these stories are uncannily interesting. There is one that is even written out as a screenplay, and it's hauntingly sad. Most enjoyable.
