Gouache-and-ink art featuring warm, earthy colors with splashes or spots of red illustrate the hand-lettered, simple text. Beautifully illustrated, interesting, easy to read and even makes you think a little.

The House of Stairs by Barbara Vine
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
Ruth Rendell, as Barbara Vine, captures the uncanny of some houses beautifully. In his famous essay on the uncanny [PDF], Freud reminded us that the German word for uncanny means un-homely.. The uncanny is unsettling to him because it occurs in familiar places. Read The House of Stairs to get a sense of it.
