It's difficult to rate an anthology of selected works not selected by the author himself, but most of stories in this volume strike me as classics, and genuinely creepy. I wonder if Machen was the earliest writer to realize that withholding information actually increases the believability and dread, as the reader's imagination rushes in to fill that void with the most blood-curdling conjectures. The annotations are excellent as is the introduction. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle... Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen's 'weird fiction' has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today. This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen's weird vision. The edition's introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
