Sinopse

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.

    "The Music of Erich Zann" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in December 1921, it was first published in National Amateur, March 1922. The story is an account of the enigmatic Erich Zann, an elderly musician whose unique and unworldly melodies draw the curiosity of a young university student.
    Due to lack of funds, a student studying metaphysics abroad is forced to take up lodging in a cheap apartment building on a street named the "Rue d'Auseil". The street is not far from his university and is bordered by a river, dark warehouses and a large wall, and is described as being very steeply inclined, as if being on a cliff. The student cannot see what lies on the other side of the wall, as only a single window on the top floor of his building looks over it. Along with the building's disabled landlord, Blandot, one of the few other tenants is an old German man named Erich Zann. The old man is mute and plays the viol with a local theater orchestra. He lives alone on the top floor and at night he plays strange melodies the student has never heard before.

    The Turn of the Screw

    The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 gothic horror novella by Henry James which first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly from January 27 to April 16, 1898. On October 7, 1898, it was collected in The Two Magics, published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London. The novella follows a governess who, caring for two children at a remote country house, becomes convinced that they are haunted. The Turn of the Screw is considered a work of both Gothic and horror fiction. 
    In the century following its publication, critical analysis of the novella underwent several major transformations. Initial reviews regarded it only as a frightening ghost story, but, in the 1930s, some critics suggested that the supernatural elements were figments of the governess' imagination. In the early 1970s, the influence of structuralism resulted in an acknowledgement that the text's ambiguity was its key feature. Later approaches incorporated Marxist and feminist thinking. 
    The novella has been adapted several times, including a Broadway play (1950), a chamber opera (1954), two films (in 1961 and 2020), and a miniseries (2020). 
    On Christmas Eve, an unnamed narrator and some of his friends are gathered around a fire. One of them, Douglas, reads a manuscript written by his sister's late governess. The manuscript tells the story of her being hired by a man who has become responsible for his young niece and nephew following the deaths of their parents. He lives mainly in London and has a country house in (fictional) Bly, Essex...
