Produktinformationen zu „Couching at the Door (ePub)“
In this collection of dark, supernatural tales the esteemed author D. K. Broster gave full reign to her vivid imagination. Sometimes-as in "e;The Window"e; or "e;The Pestering,"e; or "e;All Soul's Day"e;-these are what we might call 'explainable' ghost stories: apparitions or hauntings whose origin is to be found in some violent or unjust action in the past. Other stories, "e;Couching at the Door"e; and "e;From the Abyss,"e; have little or no explanation, even in supernatural terms. Add to these an elegant reworking of the Persephone myth, "e;The Taste of Pomegranates,"e; the downright bloodthirsty "e;Clairvoyance,"e; and the psychological studies, "e;The Promised Land"e; and "e;The Pavement"e; which so well merit the heading 'Madness and Obsession', and you have a collection to disturb and unsettle the strongest nerves.Literary historian Jack Adrian describes Couching at the Door as "e;a pure masterwork, one of the most satisfying weird collections of the century"e;.
Autoren-Porträt von D. K. Broster
Dorothy Kathleen Broster (2 September 1877 - 7 February 1950), usually known as D. K. Broster, was a British novelist and short-story writer. Educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College and St Hilda's College, Oxford (where she was one of the first students), she served as a Red Cross nurse during World War I with a voluntary Franco-American hospital. Broster's first two novels, Chantemerle: A Romance of the Vendean War (1911) and The Vision Splendid (1913) were co-written with Gertrude Winifred Taylor. Following the war she returned to Oxford where she worked as a secretary to the Regius Professor of History and senior civil servants, and a number of further novels followed, including her best-seller about Scottish history, the Flight of the Heron (1925).
