American Gothic Tales
ISBN: 9780452274891 / Angielski / Miękka / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joyce Carol Oates has a special perspective on the "gothic" in American short fiction, at least partially because her own horror yarns rank on the spine-tingling chart with the masters. She is able to see the unbroken link of the macabre that ties Edgar Allan Poe to Anne Rice and to recognize the dark psychological bonds between Henry James and Stephen King. This remarkable anthology of gothic fiction, spanning two centuries of American writing, gives us an intriguing and entertaining look at how the gothic imagination makes for great literature in the works of forty-six exceptional...

Best Ghost Stories of J. S. Lefanu
ISBN: 9780486204154 / Angielski / Miękka / 467 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joseph Sheridan LeFanu (1814 1873) is regarded by many critics as the greatest master of the English ghost story. A product of the decaying Anglo-Irish culture of the early and middle nineteenth century, he sums up in his work better than any of his contemporaries the fears and dreads that may haunt the sensitive individual.
The reasons for his preeminence are many. He was a remarkable craftsman, whose work has been admired by critics as varied as V. S. Pritchett and H. P. Lovecraft, Henry James and M. R. James. More imaginative and more perceptive than his contemporaries who worked in the... Joseph Sheridan LeFanu (1814 1873) is regarded by many critics as the greatest master of the English ghost story.

One of the former British writers of supernatural tales in the twentieth century, Algernon Blackwood (1869 1951) wrote stories in which the slow accumulation of telling details produced a foreboding atmosphere of almost unendurable tension.
