The First Book of Classical Horror Stories D F Lewis

An anthology of Horror Stories by various authors on the theme of Classical Music. ----- Editor's potentially biased appraisal: A basic reasonably priced paperback in the good-hearted tradition of the Small Press of yesteryear, with all its mixture of good and potential characterful 'idiosyncracies'. ----- "The 'Classical' in 'Classical Music' entails Romantic and all manner of other styles ancient and new: a Marriage of Heaven and Hell from Baroque to Broke. Indents and spacings-out with ligetis or ligottis and other knots of text that create new visions, new meanings: ugly or sublime, rarely neither, often both.": a quotation from 'Thumper-Monster: The Phenomenology of Music' (2001) by Tokkmaster Clerke ----- "Classical music is the music that is sold from the Classical Music department of Hmv in Oxford Street, London.": a quotation from 'Simple Definitions' (1996) by Nial Hopper
