Sly, baroque and surreal stories from the pen of the master of the short weird tale. "A typical D.F. Lewis story is like an unholy amalgam of Donald Barthelme and the Comte de Lautr amont. Or Shirley Jackson after she'd supped an unhealthy quantity of Old Shoggoth's Peculiar. Like oysters, they are better consumed in large quantities." D M Mitchell (author of SAVOY: A SERIOUS LIFE)
