Книга: Graham Joyce, Ray Robinson «What Haunts the Heart»

What Haunts the Heart

Fifteen brilliant writers evoke uniquely haunted characters; from the waxwork maker in Victorian Whitechapel who receives help from a terrifying source, to the lawyer who once met two schoolboys on the beach, and finds them still there twenty five years later; from a doomed puppeteer performing his last show in a mysterious village to a little girl eternally waiting for a missing fire engine. What Haunts the Heart weaves together stories of lost love, regret, bad decisions, madness, secrets, obsession and redemption. Some people are haunted by what is in their own heads ... And some are haunted by ghosts. The writers include Graham Joyce, Ray Robinson, Emma J. Lannie, Annabel Banks, William Gallagher, Brian Ennis, Richard Farren Barber, Liz Kershaw, Pascale Presumey, Fiona Joseph, Reen Jones, J. T. Seate, Fran Hill, Scotty Clarke and Tom Johnstone.

Graham Joyce (born 1954) is an English writer of speculative fiction and the recipient of numerous awards for both his novels and short stories. He grew up in a small mining village just outside of Coventry to a working class family. After receiving a B.Ed. from Bishop Lonsdale College in 1977 and a M.A. from the University of Leicester in 1980 [Review of " [http://www.sfsite.com/07a/le203.htm The Limits of Enchantment] " by Victor Gollancz] , Joyce worked as a youth officer for the National Association of Youth Clubs until 1988. He subsequently quit his position and moved to the Greek islands of Lesbos and Crete to write his first novel, "Dreamside". After selling "Dreamside" to Pan Books in 1991, Joyce moved back to England to pursue a career as a full-time writer.

Presently, Graham Joyce resides in Leicester with his wife, Suzanne Johnson, and their two children, Joseph and Ella. He teaches Creative Writing to graduate students at Nottingham Trent University. [Graham Joyce's official [http://www.grahamjoyce.net/about/ biography] ]

tyle and Themes

Both publishers and critics alike have found difficulty in classifying Joyce as a writer. His novels have been categorized as fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mainstream literature--with some even overlapping genres. Narratively, Joyce utilizes a wide variety of settings and character perspectives. Settings include the English Midlands, Greece, the Middle East, and the jungles of Thailand. He has penned for both adult and juvenile protagonists, with an emphasis on strong female characters. The greater unity in Joyce's works, however, lies in their thematic and philosophical topics. Bill Sheehan, who wrote the introduction for "Partial Eclipse", states:

The mystical or supernatural often play a pivotal role in Joyce's works. For this, he taps the mythical or folkloric associations of his settings. Joyce's treatment of these experiences is what distinguishes his novels from genre fiction. The supernatural is not seen as a conflict or an obstacle to be overcome, but rather an integral part of a natural order that a character must accept and integrate. Running parallel to these phenomena is the possibility of a rational or psychological explanation. This literary approach is influenced in part by Joyce's experiences with his own family:

This particular quality has prompted some critics to classify Joyce as a magic realist in the vein of such Latin writers as Gabriel García Márquez or Julio Cortázar. Joyce disagrees with this, feeling that his lineage is tied more closely to writers of the English “weird tale” such as Arthur Machen or Algernon Blackwood. He calls his style of writing “Old Peculiar.” [ [http://trashotron.com/agony/audio/graham_joyce.mp3 Audio Interview by Rick Kleffel] ]

Film

Currently, there are no films based on Joyce's novels or shorts. However, the film rights to "Dreamside", "The Tooth Fairy", and "Dark Sister" have all been optioned. As of March 2007, only "Dreamside" and "The Tooth Fairy" are in active talks.
