Series: British Library Tales of the Weird

Between horror and fantasy lies a world in which the inexplicable remains unsolved and the rational mind is assailed by impossible questions. Welcome to the realm of Dark Fantasy, where safe answers are beyond reach and accounts of unanswerable dilemma find their home.

Delving deep into the sub-genre, fiction expert Mike Ashley has gathered an unsettling mixture of twisted tales, encounters with logic-defying creatures and nightmarish fables certain to perplex, beguile and of course, entertain.

Reviews for Doorway to Dilemma: Bewildering Tales of Dark Fantasy (Tales of the Weird)

These stories deliberately end in mystery, leaving us tantalized and perplexed. . . . To crown all, this imaginative anthology even makes room for Arthur Machen's dizzyingly phantasmagoric The White People, and that chilling fairy tale of diabolic temptation, Lucy Clifford's The New Mother. --Washington Post
