The Weird: L'Anthologie fantastique de Jeff VanderMeer

Commenter

La table des matières de l'anthologie The Weird: A Compendium of Dark & Strange Stories d'Ann et Jeff VanderMeer a été dévoilée. Le livre contiendra également une préface de Michael Moorcock et une postface de China Miéville. Il devrait sortir, en langue anglaise, en octobre. 

Over one hundred years of weird fiction collected in a single volume of 750,000 words. Over 20 nationalities are represented and seven new translations were commissioned for the book, most notably definitive translations of Julio Cortazar's "Axolotl" and Michel Bernanos' short novel "The Other Side of the Mountain" (the first translations of these classics in many decades). Other highlights include the short novels / long novellas "The Beak Doctor" by Eric Basso, "Tainaron" by Leena Krohn, and "The Brotherhood of Mutilation" by Brian Evenson. This is among the largest collections of weird fiction ever housed between the covers of one book.
