Sinopsis

Spirit Level: Strange Tools and StoryáA haunting collaboration between renowned editor & photographer Ellen Datlow, award-winningáhorror writer Kaaron Warren, and book artist Monica Carroll, Spirit Level transforms ordinary antique tools into vessels of dread.áThis book, based on a limited edition artistâÇÖs book, presents ten mysterious objects, from a 1930s German camera timer to corroded iron pliers, photographed by Datlow and re-imagined through CarrollâÇÖs artistic interpretation. Warren crafts chilling micro-fiction for each tool, revealing dark histories of family curses, repeated deaths, and sinister purposes. A grandfatherâÇÖs measuring device that counts final breaths. A button hook that holds memories of a buried woman. Teeth set in silver, waiting for the perfect mouth.áBorn from a social media experiment where Warren wrote stories for tools sheâÇÖd never seen and wasnâÇÖt allowed to research, this collection exemplifies horror at its most inventive. Each pairing of image and text creates an unsettling archaeology of the everyday, proving that the most innocuous objects can harbour the deepest terrors.Perfect for horror fiction fans who understand that every antique has a story and some stories should have stayed buried.
