He transforms department stores and amusement parks into alternate universes of infinite plenitude and menace. He unveils the secrets of a maker of automatons and a coven of teenaged girls.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning author presents a collection of tantalizing stories 'as Gothic as Poe and as imaginative as 'Fantasia'' ('Entertainment Weekly').
