The Hunchback's Captive and Others: Stories and Poems of the Darkly Fantastic
No Customer Reviews
Sentient bog bodies, living marionettes, deranged tramp clowns, fairies turned human, tooth fairies gone bad, shadowy figures on stilts... these and many other strange characters haunt the pages of this unique collection of fantasy and horror. "Jay Sturner's collection of stories, poems, prose poems, vignettes, and fables has much to recommend it. Inspired by the work of Lord Dunsany and other classic writers, yet also exhibiting vibrant originality, the highly diverse works in this book will take you out of our frenetic contemporary era and into realms of ethereal fantasy and clutching terror. And yet, pathos and poignancy are not absent."
- S. T. Joshi, literary critic and leading figure in the study of weird and fantastic fiction "Jay Sturner has created a phantasmagorical assortment of surreal wonders, bone-chilling horrors, and intimate whimsies, each holding a mirror to our most hidden selves. I recommend this amazing collection of poetry and short fiction wholeheartedly."
- David Lee Summers, author of Owl Dance and The Astronomer's Crypt
