Description
Tomato Cain and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction by Nigel Kneale, first published in 1949. The stories are drawn from Kneale's childhood on the Isle of Man, where mythology and superstition are woven into everyday life. This new edition, published by Comma Press to mark the centenary of Kneale's birth, brings together the stories from both the original UK and US editions for the first time.
Many of the tales in Tomato Cain are set in a remote, old-fashioned community, where the boundaries between reality and the unknown are blurred. These stories showcase Kneale's skill at crafting imaginative and unsettling narratives, which would go on to establish him as a master of the genre. This collection is a rare opportunity to experience Kneale's early work, which has long been out of print.
With its unique blend of atmosphere and storytelling, Tomato Cain and Other Stories is a compelling read for fans of short fiction and those interested in the work of Nigel Kneale. This new edition is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the early work of this acclaimed author.
