description: 22 of today's top weird fictioneers have been challenged for these tales, inspired by the 1920 uber classic The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. In this kaleidoscopic selection of stories everything is to be questioned: is all authority merely abuse? Are we all hypnotized all the time? Asleep and dreaming? Is psychotherapy,merely sadism? Do our memories lie? Who are we, really? What is real; what is magick; what is delusion? What is love?... and how could we ever know the difference?Editor Joseph S. Pulver Sr. needs little introduction: in recent years he's attracted critcal acclaim—and both nominations and awards for the anthologies A Season in Carcosa, The Grimscribe's Puppets, and Cassilda's Song, among others. Author of numerous collections and novels himself, Joe's a true connoisseur of the weird, the dark, and the icky.Table of ContentsRamsey Campbell — “The Words Between”Damien Angelica Walters – “Take A Walk in the Night, My Love”Rhys Hughes — “Confessions of a Medicated Lurker”Robert Levy — “Conversion”Maura Mchugh — “A Rebellious House”David Nickle — “The Long Dream”Janice Lee — “Eyes Looking”Richard Gavin — “Breathing Black Angles”S.
