Opis

In The Sea of Flesh and Ash, brothers Jeffrey Thomas (Deadstock, Punktown) and Scott Thomas (Quill & Candle, Midnight in New England) explore the haunted environs of their native New England - and alternate realms of existence - in two poetic and chilling short novels: An elderly woman lies dying in her hospital bed, beset by terrifying nightmares. A young Vietnamese woman begins to experience strange visions in which she is transported to a fog-shrouded alien world. An American research scientist is stalked by a menacing figure he calls The Crooked Man. Their destinies will mesh both in and out of dream, with dangerous consequences, in Jeffrey Thomas' eerie dark fantasy The Sea of Flesh. A Victorian Englishman summons a strange puppet-like being to an old Colonial inn. A doctor returns from The Great War and discovers a mysterious naked woman at the edge of the Atlantic. A contemporary collector of arcane books retraces the steps of these other men - adventurers who sought out the mysteries of neighboring dimensions. Scott Thomas' The Sea of Ash takes us along as three men from three different centuries experience the wonders and horrors of an unknown New England.
