What's the Moose Munter?

Sean McNulty

Beschreibung

Munter lives for his dreams, but lately his dreams have been provoking him.
Living out his days in the city of Dublin, forgotten and anonymous, he is haunted by an alcoholic past, the pigeon-faced girls of his life, and the ghost of a Japanese rock star.
While investigating this ghost, Munter meets and befriends Nobuko, a bereaved woman with a fierce drinking problem of her own. Their adventures bring them to late cafes and pub quizzes, as they roam the streets with the pale and the pole-axed, with God, Chinese philosophy . . . and a moose – whatever that is.
Could Nobuko be Munter's ticket out of exile?
But when his new ally disappears one night under mysterious circumstances, Munter must face up to all the demons he left behind.
What's the Moose, Munter? is a ghostly bittersweet tale of lonely souls... and their slime-green cans?

Stories From The Shadows – The...

Marcel Schwob, Prosper Mérimée,...

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

A Thin Ghost and Others

Montague Rhodes James

"Curiosity doesn't just kill the cat—it wakes things that should stay buried."

In A Thin Ghost and Others, M. R. James invites you into the quiet world of dusty archives, secluded cathedrals, and English country estates—only to reveal the terrors lurking in the shadows. This collection features five haunting tales, including the titular "The Residence at Whitminster" and the unsettling "The Diary of Mr. Poynter." James's ghosts aren't your typical white-sheeted spirits; they are hairy, leathery, and intensely tactile creatures of malice. With a slow-burn build-up and a focus on atmospheric dread, these stories prove that the most terrifying things are those we find in the corner of our eye.

The Master of Atmosphere: James is the undisputed king of the "quiet" horror story. He relies on the power of suggestion and the unsettling feeling of being watched. Whether it's a strange pattern on a piece of fabric or a figure seen from a distance that shouldn't be there, James knows exactly how to make your skin crawl without ever raising his voice.

Scholarly Suspense: As a medieval scholar himself, James brings an authentic sense of history to his fiction. His protagonists are often academics who believe their knowledge protects them, only to find that the ancient world has teeth. The realism of the settings makes the intrusion of the supernatural all the more jarring and effective.

Why It Is Essential for Horror Fans: If you prefer psychological dread over jump scares, A Thin Ghost and Others is a must-read. These stories influenced everyone from H.P. Lovecraft to modern filmmakers. They are the perfect accompaniment to a cold, windy night and a flickering fire.
