Some time ago, my husband picked up “The Book of Irish Weirdness” at a used book store, thinking that it looked like a fun read. This particular copy seems to be from the Book of the Month Club, gives no name for any editor (I had to look it up online to find the name Mairtin O’Griost), and provides no information at all about the authors. That said, it appears that the stories are all out of copyright, given that there are very well-known authors here such as Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker, in addition to some tales that are merely described as “Traditional.” There are enough stories of interest to make me want to continue reading the book sporadically, but the structure of the publication is shoddy and very off-putting. So, points for the content but demerits for the form. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Leprechauns, banshees, and other blood-curdling characters of Irish folklore haunt these 35 chilling stories. The distinguished writers showcased here include Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, and W.B. Yeats. Stoker's The Judge's House concerns a murderous magistrate transformed into a giant rat; other others focus on an innocent lass who suffers a terrible fate, a ghoul risen from the grave, and a bizarre, supernatural rock formation. Prepare to be very, very scared. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
