James canon I've turned to Blackwood, whose stories I don't like quite as much as James' (mostly because the topics covered are so different and I prefer James' scholarly hauntings to Blackwood's more varied tales, and because Blackwood's prose isn't quite so snappy and sharp as James'). But some of the stories here I thoroughly enjoyed: "The Man Who Was Milligan," "The Trod," and "The Deferred Appointment" were probably my favorites from this collection.

Algernon Blackwood continues to demonstrate the power of his words as he shocks and disturbs in this collection of supernatural tales. In a world where the line between sanity and insanity becomes increasingly blurred, tales such as 'Violence' demonstrate the mind's ability to deceive itself to a horrifying end, whilst 'The Terror of the Twins' portrays the destructive power of hate from beyond the grave. In tales where a happy ending is hard to find, prepare yourself for a journey into the darkest elements of the human psyche. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
