Resultados para "Five Ghost Stories" en Literatura y ficción

Six amusing and endearing stories which will make you laugh and cry, and awaken your memories of another day. The perfect book for a day on the beach while basking in balmy ocean breezes, or a mountain vacation ensconced in a cozy cabin. This is a work of fiction, but like the fiction of Hemingway and many others, it is partly autobiographical. Themes of joy, and guilt, and great adventures, and just plain fun are embodied, and as the metaphors sing, you are carried off to another place.

M. R. James wrote, arguably, the finest supernatural tales in English literature, and this collection contains the best of them, including ‘Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook’, ‘Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come To You, My Lad’, ‘Lost Hearts’, ‘Casting the Runes’, and ‘Count Magnus’. James was something of an actor and gifted storyteller and read his tales aloud to select gatherings on many a Christmas Eve. His intention, he said, was to implant in his listener the idea that, ‘if I am not careful, something of this kind might happen to me!’

Thrilling, creepy, and utterly unforgettable, these five stories of strange voices, haunting passions, and terrifying nightmares will stay with you forever.
