Opis

A compound of short stories featuring tales of humour and mystery.

These stories tell of humour, of mystery, of horror, and of oddity. They are told by Lord Henry Curzon, a haunted man helped by a strange doctor, by Miss Celine, a young woman doubting her marriage, by a widow, by a cemetery keeper, by a traveller, by a murderer, and by many more that remain without a name, but certainly not without a story.They are telling of their lives, of their feelings, of their worries, and of their deepest fears. In this, they are humorous, charming, horrifying, and bewildering. Still, they allow insight, not just in their own minds, but in the societies they lived in. There, they are confronted with lost hopes and exaggerated expectations, with the joy of living and the seemingly finality of death, with the sweetness of dreams, and the bitterness of realities, with life as it is and with life as it used to be.
