The Night Piece and Other Stories
Low stock: 1 left
Emerging from the landscapes and folklore of Trinidad and Canada, the stories in The Night Piece reveal a world both recognizable and shockingly strange: cities of fear and violence, where quiet inhabitants lead outwardly banal lives that conceal sinister realities.
A failed artist with beautiful hands is driven by a fetish for injuries in 'The Third Terrace'. In 'My Anabasis', the anxiety of a man lost in his inner world is projected on to everything outside of him. 'Horse' centres on the strange experiments of a doctor who has rented space in the house of a grieving man. In 'The Night Piece', a boy is haunted by a story told to him about a Soucouyant, a vampire in the guise of an old woman who has settled nearby.
