Beschreibung
In recent years, John Langan has rightfully established himself as one of the most prominent voices in contemporary horror literature, with his stories being essential in any genre anthology. He made a mark on Czech readers primarily with the novel The Fisherman, for which he won the Bram Stoker Award in 2008. The shorter format of stories and novellas allows his bizarre imagination to shine even more, capable of evoking chilling terror and dark atmosphere in just a few sentences, or shocking with unexpected twists and a lot of blood. In them, Langan pays tribute to horror classics, such as Edgar Allan Poe with his famous The Masque of the Red Death ('Technicolor') or H. P. Lovecraft and his cult of Cthulhu ('The Shallows'). He also serves up an original plot combining the traumatic experiences of war veterans from the American engagement in Iraq with the eternal and almost universally present image of the vampire. He does this with the mastery of an experienced author who loves horror and storytelling, leaving readers or listeners chilled for a long time.
