Sinossi

In "Gothic Horrors: Bowen's Greatest Occult & Supernatural Tales," Marjorie Bowen intricately weaves a tapestry of terror, transporting readers to the eerie realms of the supernatural and the macabre. This collection showcases her mastery of gothic fiction, employing rich, evocative language that draws on traditional Gothic tropes while infusing them with her distinctive voice. Bowen's stories are not merely tales of horror; they delve deep into the psychological landscapes of her characters, exploring themes of madness, obsession, and the haunting shadows of the past, all set against vividly rendered backdrops that suggest the uncanny and the grotesque. Marjorie Bowen, a prolific writer of the early 20th century, possessed a profound fascination with the supernatural and the occult, shaped by her own tumultuous life experiences and a keen interest in history. Her unique perspective as a woman navigating a male-dominated literary world allowed her to explore themes of repression and fear from a distinctly feminine lens, positioning her as a notable figure in the Gothic literary canon. Bowen's works reflect her extensive knowledge of historical events, folklore, and the darker aspects of human nature, all culminating in a rich narrative voice. "Gothic Horrors" is an essential read for enthusiasts of gothic literature and the supernatural. Bowen's deft storytelling, atmospheric settings, and complex characterizations will captivate those who seek to understand the intricate dance between fear and fascination. This collection not only offers chilling tales but also serves as a testament to Bowen's lasting influence on the genre, making it a noteworthy addition to any literary library.

    Inspired by a true story! All beauty must die.... With her blankly staring eyes seeming to gaze into the sky, he put a red rose between her teeth and then gently pushed her into the water. She silently sank into the slow, flowing river. She was called the Wild Rose. Emma Frost is on a relaxing and romantic vacation in the small town of Enniskerry in Ireland with her boyfriend Morten, when they find a dead woman in the river. The small town of Enniskerry is shocked by this murder, but also by the secrets it threatens to expose. When another woman is found dead in the river with a rose between her teeth, Emma is plunged into a frantic chase for this serial killer, while she and Morten attempt to solve the mysterious riddles of this town’s painful past. The Wild Rose is an old Irish tale of a man courting a woman and killing her while they are out together. No one ever found her body, and as the years passed, her real name could not be remembered, so she was called The Wild Rose. It is what inspired the song by Nick Cave and now also a serial killer in Enniskerry, Ireland. Where the Wild Roses Grow is a pulse-racing mystery laced with terrifying nail-biting tension impossible to stop listening to! If you like a story with nerve-wracking suspense, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love the Queen of Scream Willow Rose’s, breathtaking stand-alone novel.
