The meat at the werewolf’s table is a dish to relish. Dessert with London’s cannibal club may be the cherry on top.From fairy tales and folklore focused on magical foods and strange eating came an enduring tradition of writers playing with food and the uncanny. In the fiction of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this tradition thrived, with themes of supernatural consumption, weird transformation and sensual euphoria as key ingredients. Raiding this dark pantry of writing, this new collection presents a feast of sixteen classic tales, two poems and one essay, with choice morsels by masters of the macabre including Shirley Jackson, Franz Kafka, Angela Carter and Roald Dahl.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 190mmItem Length: 130mmContributor: Zara-Louise Stubbs (Edited by)Author: Zara-Louise Stubbs, Zara-Louise Stubbs (ed.)Genre: FictionTopic: Classic Fiction, HorrorBook Series: British Library Tales of the WeirdISBN-10: 071235428XType: AnthologiesEdition: 1stRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
