Crisp's third collection of fiction, \u003cem\u003eRule Dementia \u003c\/em\u003e, sees the author start to experiment with the form and content of the macabre tale. 'The Haunted Bicycle' is his first attempt to use Japanese I-novel techniques with supernatural subject matter and tales such as 'The Waiting' and 'Unimaginable Joys' are a fusion of cosmic vision and the fey, shoe-gazing miserablism of Generation X. Throughout, the collection forms a symbolic, whimsical bestiary of the modern soul as brimming with unexpected, irreducible and oddly specific imagery as a Hieronymus Bosch painting. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInformed by a surreal, apocalyptic paranoia, yet rooted in child-like imagination and sheltered in the lee of unschooled mysticism, these early tales together make up a playful scrapbook of despair and hope at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Snuggly Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50365984309522,"sku":"9781943813186","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_47a37f27-594d-4361-b5a5-3a933db5b6ba.jpg?v=1728469010","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/rule-dementia-9781943813186","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
