This hardcover book is copy 82 of 500 copies printed and is signed by Richard Chizmar and Brian James Freeman.
What a great little read! This book reminded me quite a bit of Stephen King's Needful Things. And that is not to say it's a carbon copy, but you can tell that it was inspired by it. And older man in a black suit and a fedora suddenly appears around town asking people what they would do for their deepest, darkest desire. That's definitely a scary question....what would you do? Would you kill someone? So good!
This was a nice novella and two short stories collection. I've come to enjoy Richard Chizmer's short stories especially the recent collection 'A Long December'. I'd like to see how he does in a long work.
3.5 stars
A beautifully-written, evocative, lean, and gruesome novella that calls back to the horror fiction of the Eighties while being firmly grounded in the present.
Томчето включва три произведения.Мракът шепне - Ричард Чизмар и Брайън Джеймс ФрийманОткриващата новела много, ама много ми напомни за Бурята на века, само дето Кралският размах на въображението го нямаше тук, макар и изпълнението на дуета да беше що-годе прилично. В Уиндбрук, население 2134 идва зловещо старче, издокарано в черен костюм, мека черна шапка с бяла лента и, забележете, богато гравиран бастун със сребърна дръжка, а в малката сплотена общност, в която всички се познават, животът бърз...
I received a copy of this title from the author (Brian Freeman) and Cemetery Dance in exchange for an honest review. This is the second collaboration involving Brian Freeman that I have read recently and I can tell you that the chemistry is different each time. The other novel, also very enjoyable, was The Halloween Children—written with Norman Prentiss. Both stories are quite dark, but this one had a fairy tale quality to it that may have been Richard Chizmar’s influence. Chizmar just published...
Чизмар и Фрийман са притежателите на култовото издателство "Семетери денс", което от години поддържа жанра в Щатите с бутиковите си издания с ограничени тиражи.Всеки от двамата не веднъж е казвал, че е по-добър издател от колкото писател и това, плюс произведенията които съм чел от двамата, ме подготви много добре какво да очаквам - приличен стил на писане и неангажиращи истории.Книгата съдържа три разказа, като първия е почти с дължината на повест писани съответно от двамата заедно и от всеки п...
This was an interesting story about choices and consequences. It's not always easy to see the path that results from a choice. Maybe its better not to...
Мда. „Бурята на века“ среща „Неизживени спомени“. Разказите... хм.
Darkness Whispers (1st Story)A dream wakes him as many nightmares before have, but this one’s unusual, this one is telling him something not quite right. Sheriff Benjamin Logan could never conceive just how wrong things are on such a beautiful April day.Something rotten has entered his quiet little town of Windbrook, Pennsylvania. Moreover, though, he is not sure yet where the unpleasant feeling that’s gipping him stems, he can feel its foulness in his bones.This story hit home in more ways than...
Chizmar is a writer i have recently found and totally love... i am not all that familiar with Brian James Freeman...: Darkness Whispers - decent enough, but entirely too similar to Stephen King's 'Needful Things'... and it lacked enough development to go with the summary of the town's inhabitants... did not find the dark stranger to be all that scary either, though some of the dastardly deeds and gory scenes were pretty grand... maybe too much of a "thinking piece", or just not enough to think a...
Абсолютно класическо и непретенциозно усещане. Приятно.
Windbrook is a small Pennsylvania town where everyone knows everyone and things are always the same. At least, it is until an elderly gentleman comes to town wanting to know your secrets...I really enjoyed this. It was extremely fast-paced, racing from horrible incident to horrible incident. Not for those who are squeamish, but for those that aren't well the first incident goes like this: they "ran over Betty's head, flattening it in an instant, sending her eyeballs bursting from their sockets a...
A Long December was the first book I read by Richard Chizmar so it will be the benchmark by which I judge everything else I read by him. I found that collection of stories to be consistently good and some to be exceptional therefore I expect a lot from Chizmar. It will go down as one of my favorites and I do love my short story collections. I haven’t read anything from Freeman before this book so I had no preconceived expectations there. I am going to start with nit picking. These days anyone ca...
