"Of living
creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch, few if any
can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen." -H.P. Lovecraft
Actor, journalist , devotee of Celtic Christianity and the Holy Grail
legend, Welshman Arthur Machen is considered one of the fathers of weird
fiction, a master of mayhem whose work has drawn comparisons to H. P.
Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. Readers will find the perfect
introduction to his style in this new collection. With the title story,
an exercise in the bizarre that leaves the reader disoriented virtually
from the first page, Machen turns even fundamental truths upside down.
"There have been those who have sounded the very depths of sin,"
explains the character Ambrose, "who all their lives have never done an
'ill deed.'"

coperta este oribila, potrivita pentru o carte horror
Suna intrigant afirmatia lui Ambrose...ma duce cu gandul la lucruri teribile. Coperta e creepy 0-0
indiferent de continutul ei, n-as citi o carte cu asa coperta:))
Ioana nici eu nu m-as incumeta sa o citesc.Nici macar daca mi-ar oferi-o cineva pe strada gratis
Si cand te gandesti ca este doar o statuie...daramite daca era real x_x
Mie chiar imi place coperta, cu siguranta m-ar atrage daca ar fi pe un raft in librarie :D
Total de acord cu voi:))
Infricosatoare coperta
Coperta aia nici ca puteau sa o faca mai ciudata... nu imi inspira nimic din ce ar trebui sa imi inspire randurile de sub ea..
pare filozofica totusi..
Coperta imi aminteste de cartile vechi despre demoni si spirite rele pe care le consulta istoricii prin filme.
