Description
The Dummy & Other Uncanny Stories by Nicholas Royle is a collection of stories that blur the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Through his exploration of archetypes and phenomena, Royle creates uneasy, uncanny effects that linger long after the story ends. Olivia Laing has praised Royle's work as "immaculately sinister", while Phil Baker has described him as a master of disquiet. This third collection from Royle continues to develop his unique approach to the form, pushing against boundaries and seeking to learn and grow. By examining the familiar and the unfamiliar, these stories reveal the uncanny effects that can arise when reality is distorted or transformed.
