Ray Russell

    Ray Russell fut un maître de l'horreur, dont les nouvelles, romans et scénarios exploraient souvent les recoins les plus sombres de la psyché humaine. Son œuvre maîtresse, la nouvelle « Sardonicus », est considérée comme un sommet du récit gothique moderne, possédant une atmosphère si palpable qu'elle fut adaptée en scénario. Russell excellait dans la création de suspense et d'effroi qui persistent chez le lecteur bien après la dernière page. Ses contributions sont célébrées pour leur originalité et leur efficacité glaçante.

      Teenager Susan Garth was "a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age before she started having "fits"--A sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. Then one night, she strips in front of the parish priest and sinks her nails into his throat. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession. To vanquish the Devil, Bishop Crimmings recruits Father Gregory Sargent, a younger priest with a taste for modern ideas and brandy. As the two men fight not just the darkness tormenting Susan but also one another, a soul-chilling revelation lurks in the shadows-one that knows that the darkest evil goes by many names

    • Russell James Ray is credited with the first canyoneering descents of the Barrancas Sinforosa and Batopilas. It was an endeavor that spanned several years, and included a self-delusional non-first descent of the Barranca Del Cobre. He currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he dreams of other things.
