Synopsis

In "Night Watches. Complete Series," W. W. Jacobs presents a series of short stories weaving together spookiness and humor with masterful ease. This collection illustrates Jacobs' adeptness at creating atmospheric tension through vivid descriptions and an engaging narrative style. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the stories frequently explore themes of the supernatural, human folly, and the intricacies of everyday life, merging the mundane with the eerie in a captivating fashion that showcases his command over language and dialogue. W. W. Jacobs (1863-1943), a prominent figure in British literature, cultivated a flair for both humor and the macabre, influenced by his upbringing in London and his experiences as a writer and journalist. His most famous work, "The Monkey's Paw," epitomizes his ability to evoke dread through simple yet poignant storytelling. Jacobs' unique blend of comedic elements and chilling narratives in "Night Watches" reflects a keen awareness of Victorian and Edwardian literary traditions, making his work particularly resonant during the historical transition between the two eras. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate nuanced storytelling that straddles the line between humor and the supernatural. Jacobs'Äô ability to evoke strong imagery and engage readers with authentic characters makes "Night Watches. Complete Series" an entertaining yet thought-provoking read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of human nature and the mysteries that lurk in the shadows.

    The story traces the history of the titular street in a New England city, presumably Boston, from its first beginnings as "but a path" in colonial times to a quasi-supernatural occurrence in the years immediately following World War I. As the city grows up around the street, it is planted with many trees and built along with "simple, beautiful houses of brick and wood", each with a rose garden. As the Industrial Revolution runs its course, the area degenerates into a run-down and polluted slum, with all of the street's old houses falling into disrepair.
    After World War I and the October Revolution, the area becomes home to a community of Russian immigrants. Among the new residents is the leadership of a "vast band of terrorists," who are plotting the destruction of the United States on Independence Day. When the day arrives, the terrorists gather to do the deed, but before they can get started, all the houses in the street collapse concurrently on top of each other, killing them all. Observers at the scene testify that immediately after the collapse, they experienced visions of the trees and rose gardens that had once been in the street.
