  • Nightshade and Damnations

    par Gerald Kersh, Harlan Ellison ...
    "No mortal can write this well." - Harlan Ellison"Kersh has a strange, perverted sense of genius. And how he can write." - Virginia Kirkus"Gerald Kersh had a wild imagination matched by a vivid, near-hallucinatory style. Many of his concepts are so original that they blur the distinction between fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and horror, but the cumulative impact of his short stories is ... En savoir plus

  • The Best of Gerald Kersh

    par Gerald Kersh ...
    '[Gerald Kersh] is a story-teller of an almost vanished kind - though the proper description is perhaps a teller of 'rattling good yarns'... He is fascinated by the grotesque and the bizarre, by the misfits of life, the angry, the down-and-outs and the damned. A girl of eight commits a murder. Some circus freaks are shipwrecked on an island. A chess champion walks in his sleep and destroys the ... En savoir plus
