Beschreibung

In "Black Spirits and White: A Book of Ghost Stories," Ralph Adams Cram crafts a mesmerizing tapestry of the supernatural, intertwining Gothic elements with his distinct literary flair. The collection presents a series of chilling tales that explore the complex interplay between good and evil, often influenced by Cram's own philosophical musings on life beyond death. Cram's rich, evocative prose invites readers into atmospheric settings, where the ethereal and corporeal realms converge, and the boundaries of reality are artfully blurred. Each story resonates with psychological depth, reflecting early 20th-century anxieties about modernity, spirituality, and the unknown. Ralph Adams Cram, a prominent architect and literary figure, found inspiration in the architectural beauty of antiquity and its interwoven narratives with folklore and myth. His experiences and interests led him to delve into topics such as spiritualism, the occult, and the supernatural, thereby enriching his ghostly narratives with authentic authority. With his architectural background, Cram's ability to create haunting spaces and resonant atmospheres within the text is particularly notable, offering readers a visceral experience akin to wandering through a haunted edifice. I highly recommend "Black Spirits and White" to enthusiasts of ghost stories and those intrigued by the blending of literary and architectural art. Cram's explorations of the spectral yield profound insights into the human psyche, making this collection an essential read for anyone eager to confront the mysteries that lie beyond the veil.

    Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn's THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller.
    Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there's a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they're supposed to. Who's going to take care of them while Death's sipping on sangria?
    
    
    The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinksia—a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction—might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death's lap.
    
    
    If they shove him back into his body, he'll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death's right-hand.
    
    
    All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.

    "It's my party I can be here, Mass," said the drunk reaper. 
    "You're drunk, you shouldn't come in," said Max Starfire. 
    "I'm not drunk! I didn't know you had a twin?" said the reaper looking at an invisible nonexistent man induced by drink. 
    "I don't I'm an only child," said Max nervously as the reaper pushed passed him. 
    Mortimer sat with his widow she knew who he was it was awkward.  
    "We are here to celebrate the life of the dearly departed Blake Alexander," said the Reverand in charge of the funeral who looked at the wailing reaper with suspicion.
