La sua opera possiede un talento genuino e inquietante, lodato per la sua capacità di rinnovare la forma del racconto con audaci innovazioni. La voce distintiva di Marek intreccia l'inaspettato con l'ordinario, creando narrazioni che risuonano profondamente nei lettori.

This is the much-anticipated second collection of short stories by the award-winning author of 'Instruction Manual for Swallowing'.
Performing a deft metaphorical evisceration of Sigmund Freud’s classic 1919 essay that delved deeply into the tradition of horror writing, this freshly contemporary collection of literary interpretations reintroduces to the world Freud’s compelling theory of das unheimliche —or, the uncanny. Specifically designed to challenge the creative boundaries of some of the most famed and respected horror writers working today—such as A. S. Byatt, Christopher Priest, Hanif Kureishi, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Matthew Holness, and the indomitable Ramsey Campbell—this anatomically precise experiment encapsulates what the uncanny represents in the 21st century. Masterfully narrated with the benefit of unique perspectives on what exactly it is that goes bump in the night, this chilling modern collective is not only an essential read for fans of horror but also an insightful and intriguing introduction to the greats of the genre at their gruesome best.
