A new collection of original translations by a legendary writer of weird fiction often compared to Poe and Lovecraft
In 'At Sarah's House', a man watches his friend wasting away before his eyes under the spell of a beautiful but deadly woman. In 'Burning Ground', a man defies local superstition with terrible consequences when he decides to build a home on a site where every previous dwelling has burned to the ground. The title story, 'Orchard of the Dead', tells of the otherworldly happenings at a children's graveyard full of trees laden with luscious fruit. And in the highlight of the collection, 'Szatera's Engrams', a stationmaster becomes obsessed with lingering echoes of a deadly train wreck and grows convinced that he knows a terrible means of bringing his beloved back from the other side.
With thirteen tales that feature Stefan Grabinski's favorite themes of passion and death - some appearing in English for the first time - this volume will be welcomed by the author's long-time admirers as well as those seeking the perfect introduction to his work. This edition includes a new introduction by a modern-day master of the weird, Brian Evenson.
