About this book
Two of Thomas Ligotti's defining short-story collections are brought together in one volume, with a foreword by Jeff VanderMeer. These tales move through uncanny towns, theatrical rituals and troubled states of consciousness, drawing horror from the instability of identity and ordinary reality rather than straightforward shocks. Stories include The Frolic, The Last Feast of Harlequin and The Shadow at the Bottom of the World. This Penguin Classics omnibus is suited to readers of literary horror, weird fiction and unsettling philosophical storytelling. Cover illustration by Chris Mars.
