And Afterward, the Dark: Seven Tales
of Basil Copper
Description
The literature of darkness holds a haunting immediacy for most readers. The life of man, after all, is but a brief interval between one darkness and another, while the world he inhabits is likewise merely an ephemeral flicker within a universe enshrouded by perpetual night. As each finite being runs its course, then afterward comes the dark.Basil Copper has explored this grimly somber realm of human reality with a sensitivity and skill that is almost unparalleled among the fantasy writers of our age. All seven tales in AND AFTERWARD, THE DARK treat the subject of death, but in each instance this common theme has been magically transmuted through the incomparable alchemy of Copper's marvelous macabre imagination.Contents:"Introduction", by Edward Wagenknecht"The Spider""The Cave""Dust to Dust""Camera Obscura""The Janissaries of Emilion""Archives of the Dead""The Flabby Men"
