Последние издания книг Денниса Этчисона

Этому человеку уже ничем не поможешь. Да, разум угас, но ведь остается тело. Тело, чьи органы можно пересадить другому, спасти чью-то жизнь. Все что требуется — это подписать согласие. Только чем это обернется? Благом для других или кошмаром для себя?

Иногда они возвращаются... Сказки? "Ужастики"? Вот так примерно и думает обитатель маленького калифорнийского городка, принявший "письмо" от покончившей с собой много лет назад женщины за глупый розыгрыш. Но… в его дом приходит странная девушка, как две капли воды похожая на ту, что погибла двадцать лет назад. А с ней приходит кошмар... Чья-то изощренная…

Collected for the first time in paperback are 12 of Etchison's finest tales of horror and suspense. The winner of multiple World Fantasy and British Fantasy awards, Etchison shows what lurks behind the veil of familiarity.

Etchison's fiction is justly famous for its creepy ambience, and explores the terrain mapped out by Philip K. Dick, Thomas Harris, and any number of black and white horror movies. The title story of this legendary collection won the World Fantasy Award in 1982. The collection itself was nominated in 1983.

The year 2001 marks the fortieth anniversary of Dennis Etchison's first professional short story sale. TALKING IN THE DARK collects the best work by a brilliant writer at the peak of his powers -- the author's own selection of personal favorites from four decades of writing. Among these twenty-four unforgettable tales of life on the edge are the award-winning classics "The Dark Country", "The Olympic Runner", and "The Dog Park", as well as several long-out-of-print stories and a new masterpiece written especially for this volume.
