This concise introductory study showcases Carey's storytelling talents. Carey's success, in Australia and elsewhere, owes much to his gift for telling stories, his ability to lure readers into a world at once familiar and fantastic. Carey's fictions are bizarre and disturbing, but uncannily recognizable. They reflect the fears and fantasies of our modern western societies - of people who, ensnared in traps of personal ambition, find themselves drawn to play out their own worst nightmares.
