Reseña del libro "Split Scream Volume Four (en Inglés)"
Editor Alex Ebenstein brings his Weird Horror novelette double feature series, SPLIT SCREAM, to Tenebrous Press! Grab some popcorn, turn the lights low, and don't be afraid to scream. Volume Four features: Nonsense Words by D. Matthew UrbanAn aging professor of ancient history strikes up a friendship with her new colleague, Dr. Paul Duncan, a scholar of undecipherable inscriptions. As she finds herself drawn into Dr. Duncan's life-his brilliant wife and mystical daughters, frightened students and uncanny associates-darker forces behind his research emerge, plunging her into a nightmare of mythical absurdity and ritualistic death. Dark academia meets cosmic horror in "Nonsense Words," where the incomprehensible is granted a conjured form-but too much imagination can be a dangerous thing. If the cosmos is nonsense, merely a divine or demonic joke, will she live to have the last laugh, or will she die a punchline? Bone Light by Holly Lyn WalrathAn icy surf batters Bone Light as its beacon calls to weary souls at sea. This edifice built of bone and wretchedness sits atop a cursed rock, surrounded by death, watched over by the ghosts of light-keepers past. Their records tell of the inhospitable environment, but it is Mary Long's writings that show the heart. Misfortune necessitates the arrival of her dear Ida, laying bear to the obstacles that shaped their history-a husband and taboo among them. These log entries illuminate Mary's world-the banality, the heartbreak, the magic. In "Bone Light," a beacon of death might finally be the thing to give life to a long-denied romance.
