The White Hands and Other Weird Tales

Mark Samuels

4.9/5 (15480 ratings)

Description:This is the first collection of strange stories by contemporary writer Mark Samuels. The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment. H.P. Lovecraft wrote about entities beyond human comprehension that might be summoned from beyond the stars, but did he ever consider that they would feel quite at home in the sodium glare of some run-down inner-city? When one of Samuels’s characters stands alone looking up at the vast, illimitable darkness of space, the reader is forced to wonder if there is much difference between the hopeless emptiness of eternity and the bleak interstices between the concrete and steel of their daily life?Contents: • The White Hands• The Grandmaster’s Final Game• Mannequins in Aspects of Terror• Apartment 205• The Impasse• Colony• Vrolyck• The Search for Kruptos• Black as DarknessWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
