Sinopsis

In "The Sundial," Fred M. White weaves a captivating narrative that explores themes of fate, time, and the supernatural. Set against the backdrop of a mysterious estate, the story follows a group of characters drawn together by an inexplicable force. White employs a vivid and elegant literary style, merging elements of gothic fiction and psychological drama to create an atmosphere filled with suspense and intrigue. The intricate use of symbolism, particularly the sundial, serves as a metaphor for the characters' relationship with time and their own destinies, highlighting the tension between free will and predestination. Fred M. White, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, was known for his prowess in crafting mystery and adventure tales. His experiences as a journalist and traveler greatly influenced his narrative style, imbuing his work with a rich sense of place and character depth. "The Sundial," published during an era when society grappled with emerging modernist ideas, reflects White's fascination with the psychological complexities of human behavior and the metaphysical questions of existence. This compelling novel is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological thrillers and those who appreciate richly drawn characters and philosophical inquiries. White's masterful storytelling and layered prose make "The Sundial" a thought-provoking exploration of time's inexorable passage and its impact on human lives.

    The Ravens 
    A flock of ravens floats upon the air over their prey, 
    Like a looming black storm cloud of gloom, 
    In the later hours of the death of the day, 
    They fight each other for room, 
    In the melee, one is injured it falls, 
    Blood and gore fill the air, 
    The air is filled with their dire calls, 
    Little did the observers of this carnage care, 
    To them, it was merely a display of the nature of the raven, 
    Upon the hour they fled, 
    They were neither crazed nor craven, 
    They were happy and well-fed.

    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.
    The Impasse: The Ulymas Organisation was located in a sprawl of dilapidated buildings on the far west side of the city. None of the structures were more than four floors high and the exteriors were of bland, whitewashed brickwork, the paint flaking away from the walls.
