A Mythology of Masks

Stephen J. Clark’s stories present a familiar world beneath which flow relentless, malevolent and unknowable forces. Souls desirous or foolhardy enough to scratch at the surface are liable to be lured into ritualistic games, or confronted by ancient conspiracies and treacherous cabals. Myths lie hidden behind many masks.

A Mythology of Masks contains ten uncollected stories and one new and previously unpublished piece, as well as numerous specially produced illustrations, a colour cover and two different endpapers by Clark.
