From a schoolgirl who wreaks death and destruction on her bullies via a magical ceremony, a man-eating siren who picks the wrong kind of soul to suck, a worker at a factory where cheese is made by milking humanoid creatures, a mobster who finds enlightenment through the resurrection of an assassinated village mayor, and a man who must wrestle for the attentions of his beloved with a mythical creature, the stories in Dark Lane Anthology: Volume Six take the reader through a range of bizarre and disturbing scenarios. But these tales are not merely intended to scare or unsettle. The characters in these pages learn things about themselves through their surreal and otherworldly experiences: how to love, how to forgive, how to grieve, how to fight, and, of course, how to protect yourself when confronted with a satanic rhinoceros in the menswear section at Debenhams.

The Dark Lane anthology returns with a brand new collection of strange and eerie stories. This collection takes the reader to the banks of a lake where odd folk gather; to a small American town where people suffer disturbing mood shifts; to a house stuck on the borderland between life and death; to a ship adrift in the ocean that might just have something unimaginable on board. We travel to a far future moon where war breaks out and unknown entities occupy deep dark craters; then onwards into deep space where loneliness, heartbreak and alien Sasquatches await. Here are horrors both real and imagined. Let these writers take you by the hand, and lead you down a shadowed path. Come. Come. Featuring fiction by Sam Hicks, Williams Squirrel, Charles Wilkinson, K.W. Taylor, George Aitch, Kate Carne, Robert Pope, Jack Howling, Robert P. Kaye, Tomas Eklund, Helen Power, Matthew Chabin, Stephen McQuiggan, Edward Ahern, Damon King, Anya Penfold, J.Rosina Harlow, Joshua Storrs, Bryn Fortey, George Kearse, Tim Jeffreys, Ariel Dodson, and T.J. Miller.

This is the first publication in English of the anthology that contains Breton’s definitive statement on l’humour noir, one of the seminal concepts of Surrealism, and his provocative assessments of the writers he most admired. While some of the authors featured in The Anthology of Black Humor are already well known to American readers—Swift, Kafka, Rimbaud, Poe, Lewis Carroll, and Baudelaire among them (and even then, Breton’s selections are often surprising)—many others are sure to come as a revelation. The entries range from the acerbic aphorisms of Swift, Lichtenberg, and Duchamp to the theatrical slapstick of Christian Dietrich Grabbe, from the wry missives of Rimbaud and Jacques Vache to the manic paranoia of Dali, from the ferocious iconoclasm of Alfred Jarry and Arthur Craven to the offhand hilarity of Apollinaire at his most spontaneous. For each of the forty-five authors included, Breton has provided an enlightening biographical and critical preface, situating both the writer and the work in the context of black humor—a partly macabre, partly ironic, and often absurd turn of spirit that Breton defined as "a superior revolt of the mind." "Anthologies can aim to be groundbreaking or thought-provoking; few can be said to have introduced a new phrase—or a new concept—into the language. No one had ever used the term "black humour" before this one came along, unless, perhaps, it was from a racial angle."—The Guardian Andre Breton (1896-1966), the founder and principal theorist of the Surrealist movement, is one of the major literary figures of the past century. His best-known works in English translation include Nadja, Mad Love, The Manifestoes of Surrealism, The Magnetic Fields (with Philippe Soupault), and Earthlight. Mark Polizzotti is the author of Revolution of the Mind: The Life of Andre Breton.

Alcohol aside, few substances can be said to have occupied such a place in Western literature as opium. From the exuberant isolation of Romanticism to the the paranoia of postmodernism, opiates have influenced a host of writers across a range of time periods, carrying them to the furthermost reaches of ecstasy and despair. This collection is a bringing together of writings by some of the best authors in the Western literary canon - from Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Alfred Lord Tennyson to Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle - around a central theme which is fascinating for both historical and artistic reasons.
