Nightmare Jack and Other Tales by John Metcalfe
Requirements: .MOBI reader, 625 KB
Overview: John Metcalfe’s tales of the macabre and the supernatural are amongs the finest in the genre, and are comparable to the stories of such authors as Walter de la Mare, L. P. Hartley, and Robert Aickman. The horrors in his stories are insidious and unnerving, frightening by stealth rather than violence as they intrude into the quiet lives of ordinary people, who find their worlds shaken by forces they can neither understand nor control. Like the best horror tales of Poe and Le Fanu, Metcalfe’s narratives are often disturbing accounts of excursions into the ‘bad lands’ of the subconscious mind.
