Book Description
SINISTER OMENS: 560+ Supernatural Thrillers, Macabre Tales & Eerie Mysteries stands as a monumental anthology that weaves together the intricate threads of horror, the paranormal, and the uncanny from the pens of some of literature's most celebrated authors. The collection showcases an unparalleled diversity in storytelling, ranging from Gothic classics to psychological thrillers, each piece a mosaic tile in the vast and shadowy tapestry of the genre. This anthology not only highlights key works from renowned figures but also serves to contextualize the evolution of supernatural and macabre themes across different literary periods, making it an essential compendium for both aficionados and scholars of the eerie and the unsettling. The contributing authors, a veritable who's who of literary titans and dark fiction connoisseurs, bring a rich tableau of cultural and historical backgrounds to the anthology, enveloping readers in a panorama of horror that spans continents and centuries. From the psychological depths explored by Henry James to the cosmic horrors of H.P. Lovecraft, and the societal critiques embedded in Mary Shelley's works, these authors collectively contribute to the anthology's thematic core. Their stories, while diverse in setting and approach, all orbit around the central nexus of fear, mystery, and the supernatural, demonstrating the universal and timeless nature of these themes. SINISTER OMENS offers readers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a compendium that spans the spectrum of horror and mystery. It is a treasure trove for those wishing to delve deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of the supernatural genre, offering a kaleidoscopic view of its evolution and the myriad ways in which fear can be invoked. This anthology is not merely a collection of stories; it is an educational journey, a testament to the enduring power of the macabre to fascinate and terrify, and an invitation to explore the depths of our collective psyche through the lens of literature's most unnerving tales.
Poetry
Author: Bernard O'DonoghuePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192545280
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Poetry, arguably, has a greater range of conceptual meaning than perhaps any other term in English. At the most basic level everyone can recognise it--it is a kind of literature that uses special linguistic devices of organization and expression for aesthetic effect. However, far grander claims have been made for poetry than this--such as Shelley's that the poets 'are the unacknowledged legislators of the world', and that poetry is 'a higher truth'. In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard O'Donoghue provides a fascinating look at the many different forms of writing which have been called 'poetry'--from the Greeks to the present day. As well as questioning what poetry is, he asks what poetry is for, and considers contemporary debates on its value. Is there a universality to poetry? And does it have a duty of public utility and responsibility? ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
