Mary Elizabeth Braddon is to my mind one of the most underrated 19th century writers. This is a collection of her ghost stories, a couple at least of which I have previously read in other anthologies. They are generally very well written and quite atmospheric, though some of them do get a bit repetitive when read in order in a collection like this, for example the idea of apparitions or sights appearing to people at the time when they or someone they love is at that moment or is shortly to be dying. I thought the most effective were probably The Shadow in the Corner, The Face in the Glass, The Island of Old Faces and Herself. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A young girl whose love for her fiance continues even after her death; a sinister old lady with claw-like hands who cares little for the qualities of her companions provided they are young and full of life; and a haunted mirror that foretells of approaching death for those who gaze into its depths. These are just some of the haunting tales gathered together in this macabre collection of short stories. Reissued in the Tales of the Weird series and introduced by British Library curator Greg Buzwell, The Face in the Glass is the first selection of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's supernatural short stories to be widely available in more than 100 years. By turns curious, sinister, haunting and terrifying, each tale explores the dark shadows beyond the rational world. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
