Robert Lautner

    Robert Lautner schrijft onder het pseudoniem Mark Keating. Zijn werken duiken vaak in complexe interpersoonlijke relaties en verkennen de diepten van de menselijke psyche. Lautners stijl staat bekend om zijn sfeervolle, vaak melancholische toon en zijn inzichtelijke kijkjes in de motivaties van zijn personages. Zijn verteltrant vloeit met een weloverwogen elegantie die de lezer meezuigt in een wereld van emotie en reflectie.

      'Outstandingly weird and memorable' GUARDIAN 'Deliciously creepy' NEW SCIENTIST Fear never dies... Featuring stories from Susan Barker, J K Chukwu, Bridget Collins, Mariana Enríquez, Michel Faber, Lewis Hancox, Emilia Hart, Ainslie Hogarth, Robert Lautner, Adorah Nworah, Irenosen Okojie, Lucy Rose, Lionel Shriver, James Smythe, Lavie Tidhar, Francine Toon, Evie Wyld and Louisa Young. These stories from eighteen master storytellers will curdle your blood, haunt your dreams and redefine terror. From a hungry young woman who is not what she seems, to a boy who has taken his mother's advice a little too seriously; from disfigured girls willing to pay any price to fit in, to an immigrant who cannot escape his tormentor in his new home country; from a new home with a sinister secret, to the discovery that a long-dead parent's corpse is perfectly preserved decades later; this collection plumbs the depths of the psyche and dredges up some very modern horrors. READERS ARE OBSESSED 'Stunning' 'Well-plotted and horrifying' 'Visceral, creepy, gory... stays in your head long after reading them' 'It's so satisfying to turn to the next story in an anthology like this and be pretty confident it's going to be a banger... bravo' 'Spine-tingling... I was gripped and it kept me up at night as I just wanted to read one more story' 'Often unusual, always unique... a wildly eclectic cornucopia of horror'
