4.0 out of 5 stars The Wizard of Weird, August 13, 2005

By	Anon (England, UK) - See all my reviews

This `retrospective showcase' anthology consists of 67 short stories (with 3 never published before) by the British writer of Weird Fiction and `Nemonymous' originator, D.F Lewis. The tales (ordered in alphabetical order) weave a strange narrative through a dreamlike texture of unsettling vision and stunning wordplay, which may leave the reader frequently bewildered but nonetheless satisfied that stories, with their own peculiar internal logic, make sense. Most of the stories are a few pages long, and as Ramsey Campbell has commented, `some of his stories are best read as prose poems'-- `Blasphemy Fitzworth' an example that Campbell gives.
`Darkness, cruelty and despair' are some of the themes found in the stories as highlighted by Campbell in a 1993 introduction to `The Best of D.F Lewis'. And the genre trappings of horror, science fiction and fantasy are all made peculiarly bizarre and unique with a recurrent twisted humour. If the reader longs for something more conventional, this can be found too in the `The Season of Lost Will' and `Welsh Popper' (the latter tale reprinted in the `Year's Best Horror Stories XXI, 1993); each of these two stories prove that Lewis is a master of the short form if the reader had any doubts.
If there are criticisms these are not directed at D.F. Lewis's fiction of which I have the utmost respect and delight for. Perhaps it was a lost opportunity by not including a long introduction, scholarly or otherwise to this collection, as does the `The Best of D.F. Lewis' (TAL, 1993) with its interesting introduction by Ramsey Campbell. Admittedly I found it somewhat a slog reading, obsessively, all 67 stories over a week; a `showcase' of twenty or thirty of the best here mapped out by theme may have sufficed considering that Lewis is now archiving his written work on the Web. But these are minor criticisms to a wonderful, if rather over-fattened collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars D.F. Lewis: master of the bizarre, July 27, 2005

By	Paul Dracon (United States) - See all my reviews

So nobody's reviewed this book yet. That's a sad commentary,
because this book is a modern dark fantasy classic, and a must-read.

Des Lewis is one of the most underrated writers in the history of the horror genre, and an absolute master of the short story. His fiction is labyrinthian-- there's no such thing as "a" D.F. Lewis story, because his prose is so gorged full of original ideas; ornate crawlings.

Do I sound passionate on the subject of D.F. Lewis's fiction? That's because his work is an inspiration. His work transcends the borders between poetry and prose, horror and mainstream, philosophy and psychosis.

If you want to go to places no author has ever taken you, read D.F. Lewis. He'll take you on an elegant dreamride. If you want to have your imagination woven into bizarre new shapes then D.F. Lewis is your spider.

And by the way, this is also the ultimate writer's writer; so those of you who have your own weird fantasy aspirations would do well to get your grimy hands on this book.

Buy it.
