Description

"Writing Madness is a new, massive collection of short fiction, novellas, and essays by Patrick McGrath ... Writing Madness is the first large-scale collection of McGrath's short fiction and nonfiction, including the stories in Blood and Water and Other Tales, and Ghost Town: Tales of Manhattan Then and Now. Also included in this unique volume are a number of McGrath's essays, introductions and book reviews, and several uncollected stories. An account of his childhood in the shadow of the walls of Britain's largest top-security mental hospital, "A Boy's Broadmoor," is reprinted here, as is his astonishing account of a bizarre true-life tragedy, "Death of a Silent Twin" ... The writer who first coined the term The New Gothic, and has been called by one critic "possibly the best gothic novelist ever""-- http://www.centipedepress.com/horror/writingmadness.html (as viewed on July 13, 2017).
