"No living organism can not be too long in terms of absolute reality, not slipping into madness [...] thick cloak of silence covered the wood and stone house on the hill, and whatever wandered in these walls, wandered alone." Shirley Jackson's "The Haunted"
Randolph Jaffe works at the post office, the Peace of undelivered letters. His job consists mainly in search of something of value in kilograms of shipments, which for various reasons never reached the intended recipients. To beguile the time Jaffe reads some letters from time to time encountering texts that sound like tinsel vitrine frigorifice paranoid, but after more thought to a deeper, terrifying sense. Randolph explores this known only to a handful of people in the world of mystery and decides to embark on a journey that will allow him to fully understand the meaning of existence. On his way he meets a genius, Fletcher, and with his help developing a substance called nuncjo, which accelerates the evolution, giving the two men with extraordinary powers.

"The worst dreams in which we dream evil, those in which we feel the presence of Iad the other side of the sea. The most terrible nightmares, vitrine frigorifice hallucinations most heinous that haunt human minds are echoes of their minds. "
The first part of the trilogy, called The Book of Art, by the king of the macabre Clive Barker, first published in 1989. The second volume of "Everville" I had the opportunity already read (as usual, I started from the inside), so I was curious, as well as the whole story began. Initially, it is hard to find a feature film conceived Barker. We get vague information about the Arts, School, sea and beach quiddity called ephemera, but without the help of the author (who does not hurry up with explaining all ambiguities) we will not be able to fully understand everything. Associate with the unusual ones phenomena and terrifying creatures, but for a long time so really do not know what does it all began. I have to admit that such a procedure only enhances the reader's interest - confusing, but at the same time heavily intrigued. As the "big vitrine frigorifice secret show" part of the genre called dark fantasy, vitrine frigorifice with particular reference to the second term, will not experience here too many repulsive moments, which is something of a showcase Barker. No, the author focuses more on the creation, by how evocative descriptions of other worlds and creatures inhabiting them. He speaks of extraordinary powers, which he bestows upon human contact with nuncjo, all the while rubbing shoulders with horror, but only slightly. In addition to elements of dark fantasy Barker serves us a little romance between children Jaffe and Fletcher, sex, and which is probably the most interesting observations about life in a small town whose inhabitants are mainly engaged in hiding vitrine frigorifice before the neighbors of their true face.
The plot of the novel can be successfully summarized the words of the author: "I do not know how to tell her in a clear and orderly. The story resisted. "Multum initially vague stories that intertwine with other equally dezorientującymi events make" big secret spectacle "is the true mystery of interpretation, which the reader vitrine frigorifice should vitrine frigorifice explore yourself, at your own pace. What does not exclude the approximations briefly a few heroes of this tragedy. At the top of the stand, of course, wrong, unhealthy ambitions blinded by Jaffe and more positive Fletcher. Both will fight, with the participation of their children in love with yourself Howie and Jo-Beth and the girl's twin brother Tommy-Ray. Love, of course, will be based from participating in the battle of their fathers, and Tommy-Ray without hesitation to the dark side, with the hope of winning vitrine frigorifice the heart of his own sister - and I'm vitrine frigorifice not talking here about platonic love. As a result of a number vitrine frigorifice of coincidences in the whole plot will also play its role rationally looking at the world, a journalist Grillo vitrine frigorifice and his feisty friend of Tesla.
In short "big secret spectacle" is a novel about the destructive dreams, scary, unknown to people worlds and black magic. Colorful, full of detailed descriptions of Clive Barker's style allows the reader vitrine frigorifice to completely lose yourself in the creations of his great imagination, making despite the absence of any stronger emphasis characteristic of literary horror, not long forget about the novel.
Barker's like, I have a book on the shelf ... Also, I think that with a bit of free time to read things "not vitrine frigorifice for review", for it will take. The more you write about it very inviting. Reply Delete
