Beschreibung:
Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Odilon Redon, Francisco Goya and Edvard Munch. Barry Pain in his other mode: a linen-draper who cannot stop dreaming true, the dead who come back on quiet domestic errands, and jokes that turn cold about two-thirds through. Pain made his living being funny in Punch, which is exactly why these work — the horror arrives in the voice of a man telling you something mildly interesting at a club. Fifty-six plates by Goya, Redon and others trace the same threshold Pain crosses, from reading men and firelit rooms to moonlight, rock and storm at sea.
