Quick Horror Read, Clear Narration
CJ
(4 Sterne)
The book is a series of supernatural short stories that blur the lines between the physical world and the spiritual world. The author was a late 19th century Anglican pastor turned Catholic priest, so his religious teachings turn up heavily in the subjects of his writing. His style reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe, only less “creepy” horror and more “wow that was weird” horror. The narrator speaks very deliberately with force, so it was easy to follow along.
