Short story collection A paperback book (1998) as new: ONLY CONNECT written, in collaboration, by DF Lewis (1948 - ) and his father Gordon Lewis (1922 - 2007). It contains ten honestly strange and mostly ghostly tales. "The result is an offbeat, metaphysical horror fiction that, like the work of AE Coppard, manages to seem old-fashioned and avant-garde at the same time ... The title suggests illumination; but the light of these stories only serves to remind us of the darkness outside." "A weird and wonderful collection that I totally recommend." "For those who've squinted and wondered at DF Lewis' sometimes impenetrable prose, he's demonstrated here that he can tell a coherent tale as well as the next writer." "Monumentally odd ... pick up this book and you risk being carried off to a netherworld of the unconscious." For ordering information please contact D.F. Lewis at dflewis48@hotmail.com |
Roger Pile on this book: "These stories have a rather lovely timelocked
feel, recalling an age when Boots had its own lending library and duffle
coats were (almost) fashionable. A number of scenic descriptions have a
dreamlike quality, like the postbox in A Trick of Dusk, especially when the
narrator imagines it in his garden with plants growing out of it."
