Sinopse
Características

Strange fiction, altered realities. Six short stories inspired by notions of home - disorienting, comic and uniquely memorable.Pork Chop:a claustrophobic and tightly woven tale of tag that sees a masked gang terrorise a small family, playing out the fears and fantasies of personal resentment.The Gunnard Ultimatum: a writer travels into the hills in search of a man hes never met. But what he finds is far beyond anything he could ever have imagined, as magic realism and fantasy come together in sumptuous detail.The Mirror Trick : The Petersens live in faded grandeur, on the periphery and disengaged from their own lives - until the reflection of young Anna takes on a life of its own and tries to infiltrate their humdrum existence.The Smoke: dirty, gritty and desperate, like its protagonist and the lizard man he meets, a man looking for an escape and in need of an accomplice.Symbiosis: A unlikely work of fiction laced with the sadness of isolation as a man comes to terms with the creature that has taken residence in his home.A Game of Invention: A loner in a post-apocalyptic world lives in a fantasy world of memory and delusion.Bleakly comic and uniquely memorable, The House They Couldnt Build presents beautifully crafted and seemingly recognisable worlds in which the unlikely meets the impossible head-on.
