More than forty-five years after his first collection was published, here is an original volume of David Case's macabre Gothic tales that showcases the author's remarkable psycho-sexual fiction combined with the tropes of the classic horror story. Taking its title from the classic 1971 novella, "Fengriffen & Other Gothic Tales" also includes such memorable stories as 'Anachrona', 'The Foreign Bride' and his "Frankenstein"-inspired short novel 'The Dead End'. With a personal Introduction from award-winning editor Stephen Jones and an exclusive Afterword by acclaimed film writer Kim Newman, in which he discusses how the title story was adapted into the crawling-hand horror movie "-And Now the Screaming Starts ," this volume showcases the work of one of the genre's finest exponents of the macabre. "Let us hear more of David Case ... The field needs more from the author of 'The Hunter', a modern classic worthy to stand beside 'The Most Dangerous Game'." - Ramsey Campbell Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This collection of horror stories written in the gothic style really, really worked well for me.
For the modern horror reader, gothic style means that these tales contain very little blood and gore. It also means that the language used is usually rather flowery and descriptive. In this case, the language used was beautiful, but NOT flowery and going on and on about the scenery and whatnot.
The fact that there was very little blood and gore does not make these tales any less horrific. Stories about
This edition has a nice intro by Stephen Graham Jones and the afterword by the ultra knowledgeable Kim Newman, (which resulted in my adding a few more books to my HUGE TBR), made for nice bookends to these gothic tales.
I highly recommend this book to fans of gothic style stories and beautiful writing!
