Magic Terror»rank: 531623par: Peter Straub
Chroniques et points de vue: Amazon.com: Peter Straub is a fine sorcerer of horror whose bag of tricks includes stories of pure, unadulterated horror (Julia and Koko), as well as more subtle tales of psychological suspense (Mr. X and Shadowland). Now Straub conjures up Magic Terror, a collection of seven deeply disturbing tales that display his entire range. 'Bunny Is Good Bread' is without a doubt the most haunted tale of all, a harrowing account of a childhood from hell. The scary hero Fee was so traumatized as a 5-year-old by abuse from his father that he disconnects himself from the real world and lives as if in a film. Why? 'If you forgot you were in a movie, your own feelings would tear you into bloody rags.' Ever since the day Fee watches his mother die a horrible death, he's been tormented: 'He was one-half dead himself; half of him belonged to his dead mother.' Fee is not the only character to be struck by a dark epiphany, a life-changing moment. In the lyrical 'Porkpie Hat,' a famous jazz musician recounts the ghoulish Halloween encounter that charted the course of his destiny, and in the twisted fairy tale 'Ashputtle,' a fantasy-inclined 'princess' seeks retribution for a traumatic incident many years before. In Straub's world, horror appears in different disguises--the dark mask of child abuse and the bloodied cloak of war ('The Ghost Village'). Regardless of how it shows itself, the effects will haunt long after lights out. --Naomi Gesinger |
