“Book Descriptions: Translator Miroslaw Lipinski has brought out the best in this massive collection of Grabiński’s weird tales, tales that highlight the morally flawed characters of a bygone era whose redemption can only be found in a world that’s just as damaged as them. These are people driven to the brink of insanity by supernatural forces outside and within that no rational mind could explain.
Call him the “Polish Poe” or the “Polish Lovecraft,” but don’t mistake Grabiński for mere parody or derivative hackwork. His is the voice of mercurial originality, evoking a cerebral and lurid sense of awakening. There’s nothing to comfort you here, if only to open your third eye and uncover the truth behind the psychosis that befalls his characters. Just don’t say you weren’t warned!
This single volume collection is enclosed in a handsome slipcase with ribbon marker and new illustrations by Piotr Jabloński. It is signed by Jabloński and Miroslaw Lipinski, who translated the works and who has written an excellent comprehensive introduction.
The edition is limited to 250 signed and numbered copies, with around 100 unsigned copies.” DRIVE
