Описание: My homeward course led up a long ascent, Where the road's watery surface, to the top Of that sharp rising, glittered to the moon And bore the semblance of another stream Stealing with silent lapse to join the brook That murmured in the vale. All else was still: No living thing appeared in earth or air, And, save the flowing water's peaceful voice, Sound there was none-but lo an uncouth shape...

Описание: As boys, Jimmie Tunstall was John Talbot's implacable foe, never ceasing to taunt, torment, and bully him. Years later, John is married and living in a small coastal town when he learns, much to his chagrin, that his old adversary has just moved to the same town. Before long the harassment begins anew until finally, driven to desperation, John murders his tormentor. Soon he starts to suffer from frightening hallucinations and his personality and physical appearance begin to alter, causing him increasingly to resemble the man he killed. Is it merely the psychological effect of his guilt, or is it the manifestation of something supernatural - and evil? The tension builds until the chilling final scene, when the horrifying truth will be revealed about the killer - and the slain.

Описание: Walpole's third collection of short fiction, sixteen stories, including several of his best supernatural tales. Walpole's two strongest stories in the genre are Tarnhelm; or, The Death of My Uncle Robert, a strangely moving and poignant werewolf tale told from the point of view of a sensitive little boy; and The Silver Mask, the story of a middle-aged woman's fatal obsession with a sinister and beautiful young man. The Silver Mask is in fact, a masterpiece, a classic example of how a tale can be truly terrible and ghostly with no ghost and only the wispiest hint of the supernatural. Contents: The Whistle, The Silver Mask, The Staircase, A Carnation for an Old Man, Tarnhelm; or, The Death of my Uncle Robert, Mr. Oddy, Seashore Macabre. A Moment's Experience, Lilac, The Oldest Talland, The Little Ghost, Mrs. Lunt, Sentimental but True, Portrait in Shadow, The Snow, The Ruby Glass, Spanish Dusk

Описание: Welcome to a little soir e that's long overdue: a celebration of the life and work of Hugh Walpole. Immensely popular in the first half of the twentieth century, Hugh Walpole was a prolific bestselling author who was equally adept at historical fiction, thrillers, the supernatural and macabre, and children's literature. A prot g of Henry James and appreciated by Joseph Conrad, Virginia Wolf, T. S. Eliot and John Buchan-to name a few, Walpole was a natural storyteller who inspired many young writers of the day. Volume I of WALPOLE'S FANTASTIC TALES contains three novels that share similar themes and settings: the British school experience (bullying), psychological suspense, the wild Cornish coastline, murder and the macabre. Walpole's character development, dialogue and description of the natural setting are so spot-on and engaging that the reader feels physically joined to the narrative. Volume I contains a trio of novels: THE KILLER AND THE SLAIN-a novel of possession and betrayal; MR. PERRIN AND MR. TRAILL-a biting story of school rivalry that leads to murderous intensions; and, finally, THE PRELUDE TO ADVENTURE, a psychological masterpiece about philosophy, God and the consequences of murder. Although he is virtually unknown to general reading public today, once read, Walpole is sure to become a favorite author to anyone who encounters his work. He is a lost treasure. Multiple Volumes of WALPOLE'S FANTASTIC TALES will follow, but Volume I has plenty to satisfy the curious for the time being. Introduction by Jonathan Eeds.
