Living paintings, spectral children, cannibal serial killers, lost souls, haunted houses, and ancient evil proliferate in The Door and Other Uncanny Tales.
This collection contains three new and three previously published stories, including the acclaimed “Haunting Matilda”, “The Long Lonely Road” and “The Boy by the Gate”. Most stories are set in Australia, however, “The Long Lonely Road” is set on the island of Tenedos in Turkey, where the author grew up, and centres on a Muslim boy. The main character of the novella, The Door, which lends its name to the collection, is Greek and gay. Some stories have queer characters, most do not. Several stories have female main characters. Others focus on children.
Combined with Dmetri Kakmi’s gothic imagination and mordant humour, the result is fiction that is provocative and unsettling.
