En savoir plus sur le livre
Another decade has passed, and William Browning Spencer presents a remarkable collection of short stories that blend horror and humor. Several tales serve as cautionary narratives. After reading “The Tenth Muse,” you may hesitate to interview a reclusive writer known for one hit novel, even if your father was his closest friend. You might even reconsider your desire to become a writer. “The Indelible Dark” depicts a character lost in a dystopian novel, gradually realizing he carries his own darkness into reality. These monsters are not mere metaphors; in “Penguins of the Apocalypse,” alcoholism manifests as a folkloric creature, much darker than any comforting figure. And it threatens your son. “Stone and the Librarian” tells of a discontented young man seeking his place in a world of swords and sorcery, yet continually pulled back to the mundane lives of his classmates. His book report opens with a violent declaration against Holden Caulfield from *The Catcher in the Rye*. In “The Unorthodox Dr. Draper,” a psychologist embraces improvisation with a client who feels hunted, likening herself to a mouse aware of the owl's shadow. This collection serves as an excellent introduction for newcomers and is essential for those familiar with Spencer's work.
