Meet Leo Krull who encountered his dream girl when she emerged from his television screen; Lester Wilthammer, who, when his wife left him, took an almost unimaginable step; Marcus Garth who made a regrettable deal with a human devil during Kentucky's tobacco wars; a werewolf in full hair and fangs who played "Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. I" along with a symphony orchestra; a boy and girl whose first experience with young love becomes entangled with evil—in short stories and novelettes by Kenneth Tucker, tales fanciful, realistic, humorous, and horrifying.
Autoren-Porträt von Kenneth Tucker
Dr. Kenneth Tucker was born December 2, 1940, in Louisville, Kentucky. He received his B. A. (1963) and his M.A (1965) from the University of Louisville. In 1970 he received his Ph. D. from the University of Kentucky. In that same year he was employed by Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, where was promoted to full professor and continued to teach until his full retirement in 2001. His academic specialties are Shakespeare and literature of the Renaissance—fields in which he remains active. He has written articles on such diverse writers as H. G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Shakespeare, C. S. Lewis, H. P. Lovecraft, Thomas Middleton, John Ford, and Beaumont and Fletcher. He has reviewed books and British productions of Shakespeare's plays for the Shakespeare Newsletter. Upon retiring, Dr. Tucker has devoted himself to writing, producing Eliot Ness and the Untouchables, (2n.ed, 2012) and Shakespeare and Jungian Typology (2003). Among his novels are A Wilderness of Tigers (2005), based upon the savage rampage of Kentucky's Harpe brothers, The Grave and the Figure Eight (2006), a retelling of the Tristan-Isolde story set in Kentucky, and The Fall of the House of Spade, (2007) a tale of murder and revenge set in Western Kentucky. A Kentucky Colonel in King Arthur's Court (2006) is a very different sort of novel, a comical fantasy. The Madonna of Shadows and Darkness, (2008) is a supernatural thriller and spiritual allegory, is set in contemporary Louisville. His Kentucky-set Civil War novel I Pray the Lord My Soul to Keep appeared in 2010. His Hell Is Where the Heart Is (2012) a wild spoof of university administrative life. His latest novel The Player Gods is a nightmarish tale of a detective who confronts a plague producing spontaneous combustion, a Chicago partially inhabited by fairies and elves, a shape-changing robot and a charge for a murder he will commit in the past.
