The Madness of Dr. Caligari

Edited Joseph S. Pulver Sr. needs little introduction: in recent years he's attracted critcal acclaim-- and both nominations and awards for the anthologies *A Season in Carcosa, The Grimscribe's Puppets, *and* Cassilda's Song, *among others. Author of numerous collections and novels himself, Joe's a true connoisseur of the weird, the dark, and the icky.

For this anthology, he's tapped a select cast of weird fictioneers inspired by the 1920* uber* classic film *The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, *arguably the granddaddy of lasting generations both of horror films and of* noir.*

Psychiatry is an evil plot. Or is it?.. Hypnotism is only a parlor game?...Authority is abuse? What is reality, what is a sleepwalking dream, what is magical.... and what does it all mean? Or are the only meanings madness, murder, terror itself?

These 22 tales will entertain, horrify, enlighten, frighten, or madden the reader. But they'll surely not lull you into forgetting to look over your shoulder!
