Though most writers, with enough work and determination, develop individual voices and styles that set their works apart, few ever achieve a brilliance which places them, and more often than not by complete surprise, among the luminaries of literature. David Kart is just such a writer as he plumbs the depths of Imagination like his fellows Arthur Machen, Gerald Kersh, Sylvia Plath, Charles Williams, Sydney Fowler Wright, Shirley Jackson, Jean Ray, Jorge Luis Borges, Edgar Allan Poe, Evan James Sheldon, and Stefani Christova (whose debut collection of stories, The House with Twelve Rooms, set a new standard for Weird Fiction when it was published in 2014). A shipwreck survivor finds a crumbling castle whose wall pictographs tell a sad tale. A medical doctor stumbles across a field strewn with hundreds of lemons—or so he believes at first. A hagiographer becomes lost in a world of his own design. A shoe relates a strange tale while giving insight into a world few of us even consider. These storeys and eleven more will disrupt, disturb, and disassociate you from our commonly held reality—or what is left of it anyway. BETWEEN THE WALLS OF OPPOSING HOUSES You can kiss your sweet dreams goodbye.
