More than just a clever piece of black humour, in Joko's Anniversary Topo urges the reader to a very serious consideration of the potential degredation of any individual by society.

The Tenant chronicles a harrowing, fascinating descent into madness as the pathologi-cally alienated Trelkovsky is subsumed into Simone Choule, an enigmatic suicide whose presence saturates his new apartment. More than a tale of possession, the novel probes disturbing depths of guilt, paranoia, and sexual obsession with an unsparing detachment.

The Tenant chronicles a harrowing descent into madness as Mr. Trelkovsky is subsumed into Simone Choule, a suicide victim whose presence still saturates Mr. Trelkovsky's new apartment. The novel probes the depths of guilt and obsession. With four short stories and a selection of Roland Topor's artwork. Each copy is signed by Thomas Ligotti.

When Trelkovsky, a Parisian in desperate need of a place to live, comes across an affordable apartment, he jumps at the chance to rent it, undaunted by the fact that the previous tenant hurled herself screaming through the window. What happens next is a harrowing descent into paranoia and madness as a series of bizarre events unfolds that leaves Trelkovsky doubting his sanity and fearing for his life. First published in French in 1964 and adapted for Roman Polanski's 1976 film version, Roland Topor's surreal and hallucinatory horror masterpiece The Tenant returns to print at last in this edition, which includes a new introduction by R B. Russell. "As closely coiled, as cold and quiet and deadly as a snake in the bed." - John Collier, author of Fancies and Goodnights "Echoes of Kafka, Poe, and Hitchcock . . . not recommended to any average reader who may be easily shocked." - Bestsellers "Grotesque and harrowing, The Tenant is a powerful fable set in the twilight zone." - The Observer
