“I rent time for people to read, Frau McClain. Time for people who have no time to spare.” Strauss’ eyes twinkled. (Loc. 192-193) I picked up To Read or Not to Read by Vincent Hobbes a few years ago and I rated it pretty low because I didn’t know at the time that I was reading a short […]

I saw this tag on quite a few blogs before actually finding the original video (A Daydreamer’s Ramblings) and I was drawn to it because of the name. I was going to abandon it at first because I couldn’t think of titles which could fit certain points (and because so many people focus only on […]

Întunericul schimbă realitatea mai ales când eşti singur. Întunericul desface lacătele cuştii în care îţi ţii imaginaţia. Întunericul face totul posibil. (p 160) Şi, aşa cum probabil e de aşteptat, nu aduce la viaţă fluturi, un peisaj de vară sau amintiri frumoase. Te aruncă într-un coşmar croit de propria ta minte, având drept bază ceva, […]

I was actually thinking about postponing this until… next week, maybe. But what the hell? Let’s do this! I’m going to write about Crimson Peak today, a Guillermo del Toro film, one I’ve been waiting to see since the day I heard the first whispers about it. Let me tell you this: there will be […]

Monștrii există cu adevărat. -…- Așa cum apar în coșmarurile cele mai negre, care ne bântuie în nopțile fără lună. Sunt mari, urâți, și ucid. Ucid fără conștiință, fără a vrea să o facă. O fac pur și simplu, pentru că o pot face. Așa se manifestă răul pur. (Chipul întunecat al visului, p 44) […]

In the greenest of our valleys By good angels tenanted, Once a fair and stately palace- Radiant palace- reared its head. In the monarch Thought’s dominion- It stood there! Never seraph spread a pinion Over fabric half so fair! Banners yellow, glorious, golden, On its roof did float and flow, (This- all this- was in […]

Edgar Allan Poe îmi este familiar mai mult datorită povestirilor lui horror, în care pot descoperi ceva nou și fascinant la fiecare lectură. Volumul Cărăbușul de aur și alte povestiri aduce împreună lucrări ce oferă o viziune mai largă asupra ideilor dezvoltate de Poe (găsim – printre altele – umor, fantezie, grotesc, teroare, mister). Cărăbușul […]

Azi scriu despre cartea lui Oliviu Crâznic, …Și la sfârșit a mai rămas coșmarul. Și voi începe cu ceea ce ar putea la fel de bine să fie concluzia: ador acest roman. Povestea lecturii lui sună cam așa: l-am primit prin mai, am citit postfața (n-am crezut vreodată că-mi va plăcea această parte), am citit […]
