Description
Suddenly, he tripped and fell his length over a prostrate body... he marvelled that so rough an impact should not have kicked a groan out of the drunkard...
With a stiff measure of the supernatural, a dram of melodrama, and a chaser of the cautionary kind, tales of drink and drunkenness can be found in a well-stocked cabinet of Victorian and early twentieth-century fiction. These stories reflect an anxiety about the impact of alcohol and intoxicants in society, as well as an acknowledgment of their influence on humans' perception of reality.
Featuring drink-fuelled classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's The Body Snatcher alongside obscurities from periodicals such as Blackwood's Magazine, this new collection offers a (somewhat poisoned) chalice of dark and stormy short fiction, brimming with the weird, the grotesque, the entertaining, and the outlandish.
