Horror Anthology

First published in the US in 1988 and in the UK in 1990, The Wine-Dark Sea contains eight unsettling stories that explore protagonists' fears and desires, at once illogical and terrifying, and culminate in a disturbing and enigmatic ending. Aickman's "strange stories" (his preferred term for them) are a subtle exploration of psychological displacement and paranoia; his characters ordinary people that are gradually drawn into the darker recesses of their own minds. For fans of the horror genre, Robert Aickman is a must read.

La storia è il classico triangolo amoroso: lui, lei, l’altra. Solo che lui (Venâncio) e lei (Dalva) si adorano.

L’altra (Lucy), per converso, è la prostituta più bella e più desiderata della città, ma non da lui, che dopo la tragedia continua a vivere con la moglie, la quale però fa come se lui non esistesse obbligandolo perciò ad andare al bordello per sfogarsi, con la prima che capita.
