Charles Grant

    Charles Grant wordt geprezen om zijn meesterschap in "dark fantasy" en "quiet horror", waarbij hij verhalen creëert die zich met een kenmerkende, sfeervolle stijl verdiepen in verontrustende thema's. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak de psychologische diepten van angst en weven ingewikkelde plots die een blijvende indruk achterlaten op de lezer. Grants unieke benadering van het genre ligt in zijn subtiliteit, waarbij hij zich concentreert op sfeer en personage boven openlijke schokken. Zijn belangrijke bijdragen hebben zijn plaats als sleutelfiguur in de moderne speculatieve fictie verstevigd.

    • L'antologia di racconti è curata da Robert Bloch, autore del romanzo da cui venne tratto il famoso film di Hitchcock "Psycho". Come in tutti i racconti dell'orrore o nei gialli, sarebbe colpevole raccontare qualcosa della trama, l'unica sicurezza è che si tratta di storie mozzafiato, e che l'unico che non corre alcun pericolo è il lettore.

      Sériový vrahovia môžu mať všakovaké chúťky aj podoby. Tento je obzvlášť nevyspytateľný. Zohavené telá, ktoré sa zjavujú v exotickom prostredí púšte Nového Mexika, nespája navonok nijaká súvislosť. Navzdory existencii rozličných siekt či indiánskeho kmeňa v oblasti nič nenasvedčuje, že ide o násilenstvo alebo rituál. Všetky obete spája navonok iba jedno - zahynuli nevysvetliteľným spôsobom, prežívajúc v posledných okamihoch života neľudské utrpenie... Preto dvaja obľúbení agenti FBI, ktorí zasiahnu do života obyvateľov novomexického mestečka, usadlíkov na rančoch a indiánskej rezervácii v horách, opäť balansujú na hranici života a smrti...

Only one thing connects the victims. They were victims of a natural disaster. One of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain, and most hideous death… Mulder and Scully, FBI The agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job: investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly, but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there. And panics. The cases filed under "X."
