Beschreibung

In "Special Messenger," Robert W. Chambers crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines themes of love, betrayal, and the psychological labyrinth of European society at the turn of the 20th century. The novella is notable for its atmospheric prose, characterized by lyrical descriptions and an intricate psychological depth that explores the inner turmoil of its characters. The story unfolds against a backdrop of Parisian elegance and existential dread, reflecting the complexities of the human condition in a post-Victorian context where traditional values are challenged by modern existential inquiries. Robert W. Chambers, an influential figure in the literary scene of his time, is best known for his pioneering works in the genre of weird fiction and his ability to beautifully meld romance with darker, psychological elements. His experiences in the bohemian circles of Paris and his engagement with various artistic movements heavily influenced the thematic concerns seen in "Special Messenger," allowing him to delve into the intricacies of human relationships amidst the chaos of societal transformation. This novella is a compelling read for those interested in the crossroads of psychological insight and lyrical storytelling. Chambers' highly evocative style and masterful exploration of human emotions make "Special Messenger" a must-read for fans of literary fiction and psychological narratives alike.

    *Part one of a duet. 
    No good ever comes from a red-head in a stolen dress with her worldly possessions at her feet. 
    I should have known she was trouble when smoke and sin followed her into my bar and she challenged me to a game. 
    She may have won my watch, but she started a war. 
    As she slipped my Breitling off my wrist and onto her own, she gleefully announced she was the luckiest girl in the world. 
    Yeah, lucky to everyone but me. 
    Because the moment her muddy boots stomped down the stairs and up my spine, my empire started to crumble. 
    My cashmere charm is wrinkling. 
    My gentlemanly facade is cracking. 
    My enemies are closing in. 
    Maybe the fortune teller was right: 
    The Queen of Hearts will drag me down to hell. 
    At least it’s wonderfully warm among the flames. 
    Somme's notes: 
    Sinners Condemned is part one of a duet, and because of this, it ends on a cliffhanger. Rafe and Penny’s story continues in Sinners Consumed.

    In knightly days of yore did the Enchanter create a chimera creature, 
    A hybrid of lion and bird to hunt a giant Roc bird, 
    A giant bird of prey of the lands of Arabia years of old, 
    He admired the Roc as it gracefully flew through the clouds from the back of his Chimera 
    He wore a suit of shining armour, feathers flew from his steed's giant wings, 
    He drew his enchanted sword and the flying lion flew in for the kill, 
    He stabbed the snapping giant bird and it fell from the sky, 
    Landing in a great thud.
