...tales blur the line between the superrealistic and the gothic. In "The Gift Horse's Mouth" by R.E. Smith, a rancher's wife has to cut off the head of a dead, possibly rabid mare that had bitten her daughter. In Ian MacMillan's "Proud Monster-Sketches," prisoners of the Nazis bury their own dead: "Returning to the edge of the pit, staggering with exhaustion and aching with hunger, Kratko barely notices that they walk on the girl's back...
