Articles liés à The Supernatural Short Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson
Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume contains all of Robert Louis Stevenson's supernatural short stories, showcasing both his mastery of the genre and his interest in the otherworldly and the strange ways the human brain can distort reality. They include 'The Body Snatchers', the chilling tale of an avenging ghost, 'Olalla', one of the great horror stories in the English language and possibly one of the best werewolf stories ever written, and 'The Waif Woman', in which Stevenson tried to recreate the style of an Icelandic Saga and explore the destructive effects of greed.
Biographie de l'auteur
Born in Edinburgh in 1850, to strict Calvinist parents, Robert Louis Stevenson was a famous Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer. His ill health meant that he spent the latter part of his life voyaging the world, in an attempt to find a climate that suited his health, and this contributed to the exoticism of much of his work. He finally settled in Samoa, and died in 1899.
