Enter at Your Own Risk (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Some of the most enduring masterpieces of Gothic fiction are as intriguing for the stories they don't tell as for those they do. The voices hidden in the wall of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat;" the secrets buried beneath the earth of Sleepy Hollow in Washington Irving's legendary Headless Horseman tale; the dreams of a monster and an ancient book with a life of its own in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu;" and stories that reveal Polidori's hypnotic, archetypal Vampyre as far more than what he first appears to be. In Firbolg Publishing's third volume in the Enter at Your Own Risk series, ten modern storytellers reimagine the mysterious characters lurking within four classics of Gothic literature. As you read the original stories, a sinister whisper drifts in on a cold chill. But there are other voices beneath the whisper. You can hear them crawling out of the growing darkness. Then the whispers become a scream...

With an introduction from acclaimed author Gary Braunbeck, Dark Muses, Spoken Silences invites you into the hidden shadows of four of the most famous dark fiction tales ever told.
