The Unheimlich Manoeuvre by Tracy Fahey
The Unheimlich Manoeuvre explores the psychological horror that occurs when home is subverted as a place of safety, when it becomes surreal, changes and even disappears…
In these stories, a coma patient wakes to find herself replaced by a doppelgänger, a ghost state reflects doubles of both houses and inhabitants, a suburban enclave takes control of its trespassers, and a beaten woman exacts revenge.
Just as the Heimlich Manoeuvre restores order, health and well-being, The Unheimlich Manoeuvre does quite the opposite.
This new edition contains revised versions of the original stories and a brand new tale, Something Nasty In The Woodshed.
"A modern-day gothic whose Kafkaesque otherworldly stories are beautifully disturbing." - Lol Tolhurst, The Cure
“It is, quite simply, pure art, and we can only wonder what works this writer will produce in the coming years.” – This Is Horror
“This a very assured first collection…. Although there are twists, Tracy Fahey never plays for cheap shocks.” – Priya Sharma, Shirley Jackson Award winner
