Beschreibung
In this masterful collection of horror stories, George Zebrowski divides these nineteen tales into personal, political, and metaphysical terrorsstories to scare you individually, stories to frighten you as a social animal, and stories that should terrify the entire human race. In ';I Walked with Fidel,' a young man encounters a once politically powerful zombie; ';Jumper' focuses on a young woman with a dark and troubled past, while in ';The Coming of Christ the Joker,' the lighthearted banter of a celebrity TV talk show becomes something far more serious. ';A Piano Full of Dead Spiders' is an eerie story of genius, its demands, and its delusions; in ';Passing Nights,' the truth behind a recurring nightmare is revealed; ';The Soft Terrible Music' depicts a man who must hide his past even from himself. And in the title story, the novella ';Black Pockets,' Zebrowski asks: What happens to a man when his desire for revenge becomes all-consuming? With an introduction by Howard Waldrop and an afterword by the author, George Zebrowski reveals himself inBlack Pockets and Other Dark Thoughtsas a writer who can play on our more disturbing emotions even as he impels us to deeper thoughts.
