Gifted with a prose style that can evoke both terror and wonder, he endows his stories with an emotional resonance that sets them apart from much of the work in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this new collection, Strantzas presents eleven tales, long and short, that display the wide array of motifs he utilizes. \"In the Event of Death\" tells of what a man finds when he explores his dead mother's house. \"Circle of Blood\" is one of several stories that distinctively fuse a hard-boiled crime scenario with the weird. \"Antripuu\" relates what four hikers find in a remote forest. \"Clay Pigeons\" is an expansive novella set in Port Said, drawing upon the tradition of film noir in its suggestion of horrors amidst the parched desert of Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his work, Strantzas finds weirdness in the complexities of human relationships just as much as in the terrifying monsters he puts on display.
