內容簡介 Master storyteller Viktor Wynd is back with a gloriously grim collection of wickedly entertaining tales from around the world, guaranteed to tickle the darker side of the imagination.Viktor Wynd has always gravitated toward the weirder corners of folklore. On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice — filled with risqué twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect.Having entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macabre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy O’Dwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig.Each chapter begins with Wynd’s personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque. The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and black-stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.
作者介紹 Viktor Wynd是一位英國作家、收藏家與奇珍博物館館長，以蒐集和展示離奇、詭異、甚至略帶驚悚的物品聞名。他的興趣橫跨民間傳說、神話、自然標本、古怪藝術與禁忌文化，熱衷於挖掘在主流敘事中被忽略、甚至被視為「怪異」的故事與物品。他是"The Last Tuesday Society"的創辦人，該組織同時也是倫敦「維克多·溫德奇珍異寶博物館」(The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History)的營運單位。這間博物館收藏人類學標本、古生物化石、詭異玩偶、古代文物等，繁多而龐雜，宛如現代版的「獵奇萬花筒」。除了經營博物館，他也曾出版過《Viktor Wynd’s Cabinet of Wonders》等書，並以演講、展覽與寫作分享自己對民間傳說、怪談與奇異文化的熱愛。他的寫作風格融合黑色幽默、對歷史的好奇心與藝術性，常讓讀者在驚訝與著迷之間徘徊。
