The Skull In The Box TPB de Harry Stephen Keeler
How do you go about rating a thing like this? Was HSK a genius, or a loon? The answer is yes. I get the impression most folks consider the "Marceau Case" tetralogy to be HSK's 'masterwork' but since this quartet of books is the one I started with, it has a permanent place in my heart as my entry point to this very VERY strange fictional world. Suffice to say that you don't get the usual stuff from Keeler novels. You get other things. Lots of other things. Probably more of these other things (coincidences, unlikelinesses, unnameables) than you ever thought could be dished up by someone who seems to have considered himself a writer of fiction. Whether the time spent with all this is worth it for you is entirely ... up to you.… (mais)
This book gives me a special kind of pleasure.
Long out of print or relegated to small presses, the work of Harry Stephen Keeler has faded into obscurity. This is the triumphant return of the silliest, the most convoluted, the best godawful writer of pulp mysteries the world has ever seen. Someone who liked Keeler once said that all of his books read as if they were translated from the original Choctaw. Screamo the Clown. Legga the Human Spider. I couldn’t make this stuff up – it has to be seen to be believed.
Just not one of H.S. Keeler's better works.
