Bøger af Lawrence Schimel

"Lawrence Schimel's short stories ring contemporary changes into the romances and märchen that comprise the blueprints of our literary heritage. Schimel's stories are both spry and sly, and the best of them are grounded in humor or pathos. Some of them are over almost before they start; this is good, for both in magic and desire there should always be more than meets the eye."-Gregory Maguire, author of WickedNeste sexto volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária alusivo a Dia Internacional da Tradução, apresentamos a nosso leitor contos fantásticos da autoria de Lawrence Schi-mel, premiado autor e tradutor norte-americano.

Frightening, heart-stopping, and often shocking...Blood LinesNew Englanders have a sense of lineage unmatched in any other region of America. This fondness for ancestry is akin to the longevity of the vampire, whose life (or unlife) is extended by draining the lives and blood of others. The stories in Blood Lines explore the ancient mysteries of vampirism, along with the rich literary tradition begun with Lord Byron and with Bram Stoker's Dracula, first published in 1897 long after New England's aristocratic bloodlines were established. The stories-all set in New England-are written by master storytellers.
