The Phantasmagorical Imperative: and Other Fabrications - Paperback

by D. P. Watt (Author)

The Phantasmagorical Imperative and Other Fabrications is D.P. Watt's wonder cabinet of obsessive, carefully written supernatural stories told by a breed of bachelor narrators who are a cross between M.R. James's buttoned-down antiquarians and H.P. Lovecraft's high-strung, slightly hysterical misfits-with a dash of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Bruno Schulz thrown in. The collective fate of these characters is to bend matter or be bent by it into strange new dimensional realities. - Victoria Nelson, author of 'The Secret Life of Puppets'
