Beschreibung
A spine-tingling anthology by the New York Timesbestselling author and master of ';psychological insight ... and, not infrequently, teeth-chattering terror' (The New York Times). These never-before-collected stories by Ruth Rendellthe three-time Edgar Awardwinning mistress of dark suspense and one of the most celebrated thriller writers of the twentieth centuryare ';deliciously riveting, all the more so because Rendell's extraordinary ability to delve coolly and forensically into the dustiest nooks of the human psyche is amplified, not diminished, by the short story form. ... Often the reader is taken by the throat' (The Guardian). In ';The Thief,' a chance encounter with a stranger triggers the most destructive impulses in a vindictive pathological liar. A family shares an unnamable feeling of dread and a necessary denial to make it through the night in ';Trebuchet.' In the title story, a caddish boor can't help but boast of his infidelities. A historic murder weighs heavy on the unholy reputation of a quaint local landmark in ';The Haunting of Shawley Rectory.' And in ';Never Sleep in a Bed Facing a Mirror,' Rendell delivers a masterstroke of gasp-inducing brevity. Here are tales of mystery, madness, terrible crimes, and chilling perdition, all dispatched with a wit so knife-edged and deviousness, so impeccably cool that it's little wonder Joyce Carol Oates hails Ruth Rendell as ';one of the finest practitioners of her craft.'
