This is an interesting selection of what I would call mostly old-fashioned ghost stories. Some of them are very familiar, and I wondered, "Why anthologize them again?" But this is Tibet's personal selection, and I think they benefit from being printed together. Especially memorable is the Algernon Blackwood tale of a young man who decides to step outside of societal norms to experience true freedom and love. There is also an interesting story by Aleister Crowley, and the DK Broster story is also very interesting, and one I hadn't read before. The book will introduce you to a few authors you may not know. The other contributions are consistently interesting as well, although "Smee" by AM Burrage is a good idea poorly executed. The odds and ends that Tibet includes, such as translations from Gilgamesh, don't add a whole lot to the volume. And the stories by Stenbock are also contained in Tibet's volume dedicated to that author. Still, this is a beautiful book, a good investment, and I'll probably pick up its sequel.

A must for both the general thrill-seeker and the veteran ghost-hunter, The Moons at Your Door gathers tales from the now legendary Ghost Story Press, established by David Tibet over twenty years ago to celebrate the art of the chilling tale. This collection includes monolithic innovators of the weird alongside many little-known and shamefully underrepresented or forgotten scribes of the macabre. With tales from M.R. James, Count Stenbock, H.R. Wakefield, Guy de Maupassant, Montague Summers, Robert Aickman, W.W. Jacobs, Aleister Crowley and many more. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
