Complete and unabridged. The greatest of all story writers, Montague Rhodes James , summarised the qualities of a ghost story as "malevolence and terror, the glare of evil faces, the stony grin of unearthly malice, pursuing forms in darkness, long-drawn, distant screams, together with a modicum of blood, shed with deliberation". The stories in this anthology all meet these requirements, and they range from the traditional ghost story which is based on folklore and expressed in characteristically gothic fashion to the psychological ghost story where the horror may be in the mind of the beholder, and to the ... |

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh.

"Едно мъжко момиче на Марко Видал е изпълнено с живот, който в основата си не е чужд, въпреки век и половина алафранга или тъкмо поради нея.

Другото уникално в тази книга с оглед на българския поетически идиом е бруталисткото дефлориране на тукашния вечен свенлив реализъм с голямата паламарка на хомосексуалното и лявото в тандем." Владимир Сабоурин Марко Видал Гонсалес (1995, Санлукар де Барамеда, ... |
