Demonized

Fülszöveg

'Fowler's strength lies in the way he unveils the darker side of the ordinary: DEMONIZED is scary precisely because it's so familiar' GUAFfDIAN
'Placing his artistry somewhere between HG Wells, lain Banks and Ian McEwan, Fowler manages to pull off a collision of black humour, thematic elegy, and dark, disturbing imagery through his elegant and energetic prose'
BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH
'With a clear understanding of the legacy of the ghost and horror story, but a contemporary edge, Fowler explores the shady areas and the darkness before the dawn' BOOKMUNCH
'Powerful narratives that are subtly affecting and make you think again about the way you look at the world around you' BUZZ
'Fowler's stories have become increasingly concerned with the subtler irruptions of the fantastic, in the way that ripples become gentler further from their epicentre. Many at first seem nearer to realist fiction - but still with a surface murmur alerting you to darker undercurrents' FLUX

Strange things don't only happen when you are asleep. They happen in daylight, in crowded cities, even in the countryside. Things that seem innocent one minute are demonized the next, and here are seventeen stories to prove it. A journalist spends a nerve-wracking weekend in the company of Hitler and his Nazi supremos. A tropical holiday takes a nasty turn thanks to a troupe of monkeys; and a waitress challenges a sinister customer in an all-night diner. A tailor plots to escape his execution; London is overrun with rats; serial killers fall in love; and revenge backfires on the unfaithful. As our lives and deaths grow ever stranger, housewives, students and executives all find themselves in situations that become increasingly disturbing. Fowler's powerful narratives are subtly affecting and make you think twice about the way you look at the world around you. Vissza
