"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 korimat "The Haunted"
A collection of twenty short stories by John Everson, who became famous korimat primarily as the author of literature extreme - full of bloody violence and kinky sex. Indeed, these elements invariably scroll through all of the stories included in this collection, but not to the extent that they promised other readers in their reviews. Maybe Clive Barker and Edward Lee become resistant to the literary macabre me long enough for me without any feeling of disgust followed the gruesome ideas Everson, which does not mean that the vast majority of his stories did not present themselves until too decent level workshop and feature korimat films.
The theme of "Needles and sins" is the vision of Hell, shown in several stories in different ways. "The beginning was the end" is the story of a perverse relationship korimat Anielicy and demon. "Release" and "Balance" is practically one story in two acts, one of the bloodiest in of a collection of, showing life after death in a place full of flaying and bizarre mating, the world marked the degenerate human instincts that come out of the closet in the place where there is absolutely korimat no legal and moral standards. The title "Needles and sins" is probably the best story in the collection, showing a man subpurchaser their sins effort of inhuman suffering. A similar idea has "Green Glass", korimat telling of a man who, like the mythological Sisyphus was condemned to constant repetition of his posthumous punishment: barefoot trek through the vast glass box. Although stories dealing with Hell read quite tolerably it apart from "Needles and sins" not impressed korimat me a greater depth, in contrast to several texts, unbound korimat with that theme, which show mainly boundless courage Everson, for which taboos simply do not exist which shocked the background feature, not bloodshed, which indeed is a lot, but I doubt that aspects of gore were made in memory of prose wyjadaczom extreme. Take for example "Mary" - a maximum of blasphemous story (at least in so allergic to the point of Christianity country like Poland), which might be successfully fragment cut from Scripture :) In the end, Mary somehow had to get pregnant, so why not obsessed with sex God desires that does not retract or rape, or before korimat taking the Virgin prostitutes? Shocking? Well, this is just Everson, not intended for orthodox Catholics. Very appealed to me also "Bloody Roses" - seemingly a love story, which so far is surprising ending, that it's hard to later out of my head. The idea almost surreal dreamlike. korimat "Something inside of this" shocking bloodshed and "Made for Each Other" is a perfect example of what can result in constant pursuit of the man behind the fashion, I might add, that quite bizarre. In "Pluto devil" Everson delicate touches to the Poles subject of World War II, with German soldiers, ready to repulsive pact with Satan to win the war. Sacrifice, which must for him to devote almost squeezed tears to my eyes. Grotesque and macabre "Street torturers" is a joke really funny story, rich in thought, deftly written gags, such as: "Then he stabbed her in the eye crucifix, and then put in the chalice ... - alone you can guess. You could say that the vessel turned her love for the holy chalice. "I told you that this is not essential reading for Orthodox Christians?
With the whole set of least liked the lyrics on "Char-Lee" (too little macabre, and a lot of descriptions dłużącej the trek), korimat "the strongest will survive" (ok, incestuous aspects fared quite tasty, but not very interesting form tight wearied me) "Ghosts, which flew away" korimat (perhaps someone like the idea of catching nightmares, korimat but for me the story was, however, no potential) and "Warming Up Women" (although it sounds exciting "to wash" it turns out that nothing in takowego we do not find this story). But the final story in five acts, entitled "Love, rope, sex and screams," which treats about life in the circus, a kind of minipowieść firmly gave me food for thought, and despite the almost total absence of the last two members due to effectively aroused my interest - in the end Everson not must still serve its readers the blood and sex, may also attempt a more
