Product Description
Product Description
Supernatural Buchan - Stories of Ancient Spirits uncanny places and strange creatures. Buchan's stories of solid characters clad in tweeds and braving all odds armed only with a stout walking stick have become popular classics. Perhaps it is therefore no surprise that the same character types populate his highly entertaining tales of the strange and weird - here collected into a feast of supernatural delights. In a Buchan story the hauntings and other manifestations are far more subtle than the usual blood-curdling phantoms. The author brings finely crafted detail and a profound sense of the spirit of landscape (specially that of his native Scotland) and place to locales that are as disparate as the stories themselves. Whether they are acknowledged or not, ancient other-worldly creatures, deities and people intrude into Buchan's settings to influence and effect the lives of "modern" man. These wonderful tales of hidden threat and menace make dealing with the mundane concerns of our own world seem like child's play.

Ce commentaire est de: Supernatural Buchan - Stories of Ancient Spirits Uncanny Places and Strange Creatures (Paperback)
Very fast delivery. Excellent condition and a thoroughly suspensful read. Turns out, however, that I'd already read half of the stories which appear in another Buchan collection. Maybe I missed this but it might be a good idea list the names of the short-stories contained in this edition.
