The Surly Sullen Bell: Ten Stories and Sketches, Uncanny or Uncomfortable, with a Note on the Ghostly Tale by Russell Kirk
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2mb
Overview: More of the outer darkness than of the twilight zone, these are tales unabashedly Gothick. In them the reader may find hints of M. R. James, Henry James, Algernon Blackwood and even Jesse James.
Writing from his haunted house at Mecosta, Michigan, one of the most isolated places on earth. Dr. Kirk takes you on eerie trips to visit deconsecrated churches, the drawing room of a poisoner, ancient cellars, Scottish castles, deserted houses off lonely roads, and the most fascinating of all—the great uninhabited wilderness. There is the chilling speculation of a major thinker behind each of these tales, and the vengeful ghosts of Russell Kirk select their contemporary victims with proper morbid care.
Many masters of the craft, such as Ray Bradbury, Jerry Pournelle, Robert Bloch and Robert Aickman praised Kirk's ability to connect the story to the eternal and timeless.
"Russell Kirk proves himself adept at evoking timeless terrors and ancient evil." -Robert Bloch, author of PSYCHO
"Kirk deserves to be considered a fine writer and an amazing thinker in literature and in politics.”-Ray Bradbury
