14.99 €
In 1943, English officer Alan Querdilyon escapes from a Nazi concentration camp. Lost in the vast forests of East Germany, he finds himself transported to a strange world, a parallel reality, where he finds himself captured again. This time, on a vast estate owned by a mysterious, terrifying Count, the Reich's chief forester, known for his passion for moonlight hunting. Except he doesn't hunt with dogs; he pursues anything but animals...
The novel "The Sound of His Horn," one of the hallmarks of horror literature, was included in the top 100 best books of the genre (Horror: 100 Best Books by Kim Newman and Stephen Jones). Its author is English writer and diplomat John William Wall, who remains a hallmark of "dark" fiction under the pseudonym Sarban. Thanks to his elegant writing style and the mythological quality of his images, Sarban is often compared to H. P. Lovecraft and Jorge Luis Borges, Arthur Machen and Walter de la Mare. However, this writer possesses his own unique voice and has long held a place of honor in the world literary Olympus, despite being virtually unknown in Russia. This volume aims to correct this unfortunate misunderstanding.
The collection includes a diverse range of Sarban's works: "The Sound of His Horn," "Sea Creatures," "The House by the Road," "Calmahan," and others, in which, in the words of writer Kingsley Amis, "dreams and nightmares combine," and the laws of nature give way to the whimsical chaos of the imagination...
