A curious volume from Tartarus Press
Supernatural-tinged stories of vanished or never-was Europe. Really nails the fin de siecle or post-Great War feel with prose poem dreaminess. But they may take the nihilistic pose a shade too far in that many of the stories ultimately seem to be more nothing than something. I think my faves were The Fencing Mask and Lost Gonfalon.
