Embracing a blend of the supernatural, melodrama, and a touch of cautionary storytelling, tales of alcohol and drunkenness can be discovered within a well-stocked cabinet of Victorian and early twentieth-century fiction. These narratives reflect a profound concern about the societal impact of alcohol and intoxicants, as well as an acknowledgment of their profound influence on human perception of reality. Within this collection, you will find a (potentially toxic) cup brimming with dark and stormy short fiction, teeming with the strange, grotesque, entertaining, and outlandish. From renowned classics like Robert Louis Stevenson's \"The Body Snatcher\" to obscure treasures from periodicals like Blackwood's Magazine, this anthology presents a captivating tapestry of literary delights. So, pour yourself a (possibly hazardous) sip and immerse yourself in the captivating world of these tales, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, and the consequences of indulgence are laid bare for all to witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 x 130 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780712354097\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44594775523578,"sku":"9780712354097","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1695982094645_book.jpg?v=1696055968","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dead-drunk-tales-of-intoxication-and-demon-drinks-9780712354097","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
