<p>In his chilling novella "The Thing on the Doorstep," H.P. Lovecraft masterfully intertwines elements of gothic horror with cosmic dread, exploring themes of identity, the occult, and human vulnerability.

Porphyria's Lover (Unabridged) A Victorian dramatic monologue of twisted love, murder, and abnormal psychology, laced with irony, dark humor, and eerie rhyme【電子書籍】[ Robert Browning ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "Porphyria's Lover (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Porphyria's Lover" is Browning's first ever short dramatic monologue, and also the first of his poems to examine abnormal psychology. In the poem, a man strangles his lover - Porphyria - with her hair. Porphyria's lover then talks of the corpse's blue eyes, golden hair, and describes the feeling of perfect happiness the murder gives him. Although he winds her hair around her throat 3 times to throttle her, the woman never cries out. The poem uses a somewhat unusual rhyme scheme: A,B,A,B,B, the final repetition bringing each stanza to a heavy rest. Robert Browning (1812-1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

'Silence' and Other Stories Ten Eerie Tales【電子書籍】[ Tim Turnbull ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The collection ‘Silence’ and Other Stories consists of ten weird tales, contemporary takes on the classic English tradition of supernatural short fiction by the likes of Machen and M.R. James. In each, it is difficult to say whether the underlying horror is caused by the supernatural phenomena and events described, or by human cruelty, callousness, and outright wickedness. The settings range from the Yorkshire Moors to the sleazy backstreets of North London; from 16th century France to a near-future New York. Some of the protagonists are dangerously delusional, others bewildered dupes, but all are threatened by implacable forces.</p> <p>In the title story, the hero is tricked into attending an avant-garde film festival where he is possessed by a vengeful spirit. ‘History Tells Us’ has an irascible, and possibly murderous, woodsman take his workmate on a moonlit trek over a haunted, wintry moor. ‘A Lucky Charm’ tells of the last day of a cantankerous and cursed antique dealer, ‘Dweezils Ripped My Flesh’ of an egotistical and reckless artist with access to dangerous technology.</p> <p>Tim Turnbull is also an award-winning poet and performer. These stories are infused with a sense of menace and his trademark wry, bleak humour.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Corpse with The Eerie Eye【電子書籍】[ Robert Alfred John Walling ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The Corpse with the Eerie Eye</strong>, first published in 1942 (and in the UK as <em>Castle-Dinas</em>) features private investigator Philip Tolefree. From the dustjacket: "There was mystery rampant in Castle-Dinas, although Tolefree at first didn't recognize it. He thought he was there to straighten out a lovers' quarrelーuntil the telephone rang at dinner that night and turned a gay and charming atmosphere into one resembling a wake. Mrs. Lowell returned to the table with her face strained beyond her well-carried years. Mr. Lowell retired dejectedly into a shell. And Katherine, their daughter, became tense and distraught. Later at Dr. Mapperley's, a succession of peculiar sounds kept Tolefree on his feet most of the nightーto the obvious dismay of Peter, the nautical butler. And then they found the corpseーthe corpse with a vacant stare and pupils the size of a pin-point. … Mr. Walling is noted not only for his excellent plots, but his subtle characterizations and portrayal of English country life. The picture of Castle-Dinas, situated on the rolling moors of Devonshire, and its leisurely way of life are pleasing highlights in this mystery from the pen of a master craftsman." Robert Alfred John Walling (1869-1949) was an English journalist and author of numerous novels featuring private investigator Philip Tolefree.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
