I'm going to be brief here. The title is a mouthful and the pages are a feast for the eyes and imagination. Illustrations, maps, and travel notes all combine to make fiction feel like reality. The stories take you on a trip around the world, where you will become acquainted with several haunted places all from the safety of your favorite reading spot. Multiple authors with their own distinctive style add a unique flair and flavor to this anthology. There are hauntings that occur in the usual places, such as the hospital in the chilling story Above Aimi by Thersa Matsuura but also more unusual settings such as the haunted department store in Ramsey Campbells Still Hungry. These were just two of my favorites in this journey. Expect the unexpected on your travels and enjoy the trip.
4 out of 5 stars I received an advance copy under no obligation to write a review. ( )
I love the awesome cover for Professor Charlatan Bardot’s Travel Anthology by Eric Guignard. Some of the locales are real places, and, the rest, I’ll leave it up to you to decide.
The anthology includes short stories of horror from noted authors all over the world. Whether it takes place in a hospital, lighthouse, mining camp, wishing well…most everything but haunted houses, the anothology is sure to supply plenty of thrills and chills.
Might want to keep the light on…but, locked doors won’t keep them out.
Professor Bardot is as interesting as the beautiful book, with fabulous illustrations to go with the fantastic cover.
Travel around the world with horror as your companion. The Professor may have your imagination running wild on your travels when you visit your own hotel, cathedral…
I cannot think of anything that could be improved upon a book that gave me many hours of reading pleasure.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Professor Charlatan Bardot’s Travel Anthology by Eric J Guignard.
Bardot and Guignard’s emphasis on including text and art that blur the lines between reality and fiction is also a nice touch. (Could that haunted bookstore actually exist? Does my city have a haunted bookstore?) This collection also successfully asks a very important question: What is a haunting? Many of the authors herein work with staples of the ghost story, but apply them to places and perspectives that readers may not have previously considered.
