About This Title:
The
Eyes of the Carp (Novella #15)
by T.M. Wright
Kevin writes, "Who kills but the strong? And who dies but the willing?" Strange questions, certainly, but, to Kevin, their answers are obvious.
He is lyrical, intelligent, looks inward, forward, outward, backward, sees nightmares everywhere, makes these nightmares work, finds much in them about which he can congratulate himself--for instance, deaths that are slow and meaningful and, as he interprets them, deaths that bring welcome release. Not only to him. But to the others, as well.
And what about the others? What about their poor, short lives? What remains after they’ve passed? What about their stuff, their plans, the grudges they hold?
And who in the name of heaven, or hell, are ghastly William and fat Leonard? And why does the apparently absent and obviously naked Janet, with whom Kevin spent several years of wedded bliss, walk the hallways of the huge house at odd hours?
The Eyes of the Carp from T.M. Wright, the man Kim Newman calls "The best ghost story writer alive today," and the author of the Stoker-nominated and critically acclaimed Cold House, A Manhattan Ghosts Story, The Last Vampire, Sleepeasy, and two dozen other novels of horror and dark fantasy published in fourteen languages.

I've been looking forward to the release of this book for over a year. As always, T.M. Wright is at the top of his game. This book puts you in a trance with it's smooth prose and mysterious imagery. T.M. Wright makes the reader work. And the more you work, the more you uncover. I loved everything about it. In a market where horror writers try to top each other with violence and gore, T.M. uses his incredible skills as a wordsmith and storyteller to stand out. In time, at least within the intelligent horror community, T.M. Wright will always be known as one of horror's pioneers and the most original and effective ghost story writer in history. Without question, The Eye's of the Carp deserves the Bram Stoker award.
