    ISBN: B00XI6PBGQ
    Год издания: 2015
    Издательство: Simon & Schuster

    Dark, unnerving and wickedly funny, Patrick McGrath's acclaimed short stories deal in the bizarre, the erotic and the unexpected. A failed writer meets an ageing gin-queen who claims he was once visited by an angel; a little girl finds a delirious, dying explorer from the Congo at the bottom of her back garden; a night-club is terrorized by a strange libidinous hand; and a young Victorian lady sails to India to find her fiance Cecil horribly transformed...

  • Asylum Patrick McGrath
    ISBN: 9780307764447
    Год издания: 2011
    Издательство: Vintage
    Язык: Английский
    From our most celebrated writer of the psychological thriller comes this nerve-wracking yet eerily beautiful work of erotic obsession and madness.
    In the summer of 1959 Stella Raphael joins her psychiatrist husband, Max, at his new posting--a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. Beautiful and headstrong, Stella soon falls under the spell of Edgar Stark, a brilliant and magnetic sculptor who has been confined to the hospital for murdering his wife in a psychotic rage.

    But Stella's knowledge of Edgar's crime is no hindrance to the volcanic attraction that ensues--a passion that will consume Stella's sanity and destroy her and the lives of those around her.

    Год издания: 2009

    Язык: Английский
    Inseparable since childhood, Jack and Gin Rathbone inhabit a world of privilege and eccentricity into which no strangers are permitted. Until, that is, Jack falls passionately in love with Vera Savage: a flamboyant and reckless artist over ten years his senior. When they flee to New York City within weeks of meeting, Gin is forced to witness their relationship unfold from a bruised, bereft distance. But when Jack and Vera move to Port Mungo, a seedy town in the mangrove swamps of Honduras, Gin is afforded the opportunity to stake her claim to her brother’s life again. This feverish world of tropical impulses and artistic ambition leads, inevitably, to a death swathed immediately in mystery, as the various imperatives of passion, narcissism, and creativity hold them all in relentless thrall.

  • Spider Patrick McGrath
    ISBN: 978-8846203014
    Год издания: 2003
    Издательство: RL Libri
    Язык: Английский

    Spider is gaunt, threadbare, unnerved by everything from his landlady to the smell of gas. He tells us his story in a storm of beautiful language that slowly reveals itself as a fiendishly layered construction of truth and illusion. With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, Spider is a tale of horror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying style lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.

  • Приют Патрик Макграт
    ISBN: 5-17-011063-4
    Год издания: 2002
    Издательство: АСТ
    Язык: Русский

    «Приют» Макграта – наиболее мрачная, реалистичная и в тоже время лучшая его книга. Название романа «Asylum» можно перевести двояко: «Приют» или «Дом сумасшедших». Издатель остановился на первом варианте. Это многоплановый роман, вызывающий сложные ассоциации, роман, в котором зло и страх принимают странные обличья, отражающиеся как в нашем воображении, так и в самом сюжете.
