Thing of Things

A new collection of incredibly strange and puzzling - yet always delightful - fictions by Mr DF Lewis. Wonderful though they are to read, they are a devil to describe without resorting to odious comparisons. How about ‘like a paranoid conspiracy theorist of the wildest sort, who has discovered Oulipo’. In Mr Lewis’ stories, even the most mundane and familiar objects (eg ‘elbows’) can be transformed into otherworldly trappings that alternatingly amaze and alarm. “Highly sophisticated and wonderfully nightmarish imagination, an expertly controlled and sardonic vision that reminds me as much of avant-gardists like William Burroughs as it does the best traditions of horror literature” ( Thomas Ligotti in Dagon DFL Special) “DFL's work is imaginative, original and beautifully written; so good that the editors dare to be different by printing it.” (Scavenger's Newsletter (USA) “DFL needs no biography. He has been one of my favorite authors for years.” (Black Moon) “At his best he is capable of convincing the reader that he is the inheritor of Lovecraft's nightmares” (Blood From Stones)
