Inspired by the weird tales of the great Edgar Allan Poe, and as some readers might reasonably insist, the even greater H. P. Lovecraft - himself an admirer of Poe - here is a host of rather more modern witcheries from times since the sad demise of many such old masters, based on eras long forgotten before all such tale-tellers so much as existed; concepts spawned in an immemorial past that even now continues to provide the source and fundamentals of similar conceits, such as they were, in the shape of folk legends and the frequently monstrous cautions of so-called \"fairy tales,\" in modes made their own by the antique yarns of the Brother's Grimm, now sadly long-demised - a fact which in itself says a lot for the longevity of these genres! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStories included in this collection: \u003cbr\u003eThe Man in the Dream\u003cbr\u003eLate Shopping\u003cbr\u003eSpider in the Bath\u003cbr\u003eMemory?\u003cbr\u003eThe Lecture\u003cbr\u003eHell Is a Personal Place\u003cbr\u003eProblem Child\u003cbr\u003eThe Sorceror's Dream\u003cbr\u003eMother Love\u003cbr\u003eNot a Creature Was Stirring\u003cbr\u003eIn the Glow Zone\u003cbr\u003eLittle Man Lost\u003cbr\u003eSnarker's Son\u003cbr\u003eWhat Dark God?\u003cbr\u003eThe Strange Years\u003cbr\u003eThe Man Who Saw No Spiders\u003cbr\u003eSwamped\u003cbr\u003eA Really Game Boy\u003cbr\u003eA Dreamer's Tale\u003cbr\u003eIn Dublin's Fair City \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as three short stories in just fifty words each and four favourite poems from \"Ghoul Warning\"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47405454065842,"sku":"9781637895788","price":17.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/fea78a7a3da9e6f4c3db21c150b80473.webp?v=1778185611","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/short-tall-tales-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
