Welcome to the long-awaited holiday special. Today is the Holy Day, a holiday that can let us go to the moon. Whether you are in real life or in books, you can find some horror feelings. The New York Times also released a horror book list at this time, and selected 16 horror books for everyone. The author Colin Marsh believes that these are not only good stories, they can also scare you.
Because the volume is huge, I only picked a few books that we are familiar with. Speaking of horror novels, of course, it can't be without Stephen King. Although I think Stephen King's name has always been a bit strange,
In the books that have been imported to China, they all call him the "king of horror novels". Actually, this statement is not very accurate. Stephen King did write a lot of horror works, but what he called the most is the detailed description of American middle-class life and the infinite imagination of the plot. It's not too much of a horror.
The only explanation is that he wrote too many horror works, and these works are too inhuman. For example, the first long novel "The Witch's Home" and the first short novel "The Handprint" by Shinseng Shudan.
It is recommended to write in the language: "The horror novel of the present is not to be overwritten. Many of his works, such as "The Little Ugly Soul", "The End of the Sun", "The Petal of the Worm", can make people get goosebumps, but "The Handprint" may be his most pure horror work. Very simple short novels make it an ideal form of creating endless horror, including "The Pork Chicken". An industrial washing machine began to develop its own ideas, and the story became very interesting.
The horror level of the four-dimensional short novel is no less than that of those long films, such as the mystery that was once changed into a famous movie. The things in the novel that look very long and long cannot be copied completely in the movie, but have another horror atmosphere. The ending of the short novel is always very violent, and suddenly cut off this story, which will make the reader go crazy instantly. This effect is really good.
The second film, Thomas Harris' Red Dragon, is a classic film. No matter if it's a novel or a movie, it's a miracle that changed the history of Oscar. As a horror film, he was able to win the best film, best director, best male and female lead, and best script. It's a miracle. No wonder many media praised him for inheriting the psychological horror of the West.
All of this is based on Thomas Harris, the author of the Hannibal series. The dragon is the first work of Dr. Hannibal Lecht. At that time, he was just a small character. In this book, he was a mental health doctor who was arrested five years ago. His performance in the book is unforgettable. What is more impressive is that when the author is describing the cruel and evil situation, he has no control over it. The third book is Henry James's suspense middle film, "Ross in the Mirror".
Wow, I have to say this middle part again. When I finished "The Book of Life", I didn't really like this story, but I still have to admire Henry James. The psychological analysis is quite interesting.
This is a story of a ghost that may have appeared in a family of English teachers and his family in the countryside. The first perspective of the story applies not only the sense of contribution, but also the fact that the event is limited to a very small range of events. Even later, our readers will think more and more that the protagonist is an unreliable narrator. Are those he fears real? Or is it just his imagination?
When the mystery is revealed in the middle, you may feel that the story is starting to vent, until the end of the story, you will find that it is a big mistake. Because until the last sentence of the novel, Henry James really finished everything he wanted to do. All the clues and directions in the story are very ambiguous, and eventually achieved this maze without an exit. Why don't you believe in ghosts? This is the title of the Chinese version of the second season, and it is also the best sentence to explain this story.
读者无从得知究竟是鬼还是星魔,只能永远被困在这座复杂的迷宫中打转。 正如纽约时报描述的那样,这部备受喜爱的十九世纪小说是否能让您胆战心惊, 取决于您曾在多大程度上怀疑过自己的感官或理智。 如果我们或多或少都有过这样的经历, 那认为这本书异常生动和令人不安也就不足为奇。
"Ross in the Mirror" is a classic of Gothic literature, which is highly recommended for its complexity and complexity. The last two are the long-term representative works of the legendary novelist, Shirley Jekyll, "The Coffin" and "We Have Been Living in the Castle". "The Coffin" was mentioned in my first episode of the "Tonight Special" a few years ago, so I won't talk about it anymore. "We Have Been Living in the Castle" has recently released a new simplified Chinese version, which is a very good time to read it.
This is the same as the "Rose in the Nenjin" mentioned earlier, both are novel novels of two different genres. But we've been living in the city, so there may be more controversy. Because its motives are too deep, plus the plot is high-end, it is all subconsciously described. It is destined to be a novel that is divided into two episodes. It is recommended in the book list. "Sister House" may be the most famous novel by Jack Hume. Even though it has been published for more than five years, it is still the same.
If you're more afraid of horror, then you might as well start from "We've been living in a castle all this time." This book is more bizarre and cunning. It's not as good as the horror work "The God of the Purgatory" The story is focused on the Blackwood family who are hiding in the movie. There are only three mysterious people left now. The unreliable narrator of "The Wondrous Life of the Wanderer", Mary Carter, her sick uncle Julian, and her sister Constance, who has phobia.
After a tragic and dismal tragedy, the three of them live a life of separation, until a face of a scholar breaks their fragile peace, and one step at a time, the tragedy happens. OK, now it's the end. As I said at the beginning, this book is actually a large volume, 16 books. I only talked about 5 books here, and one was slightly missed. So if you are interested, listeners can search for other works in this book.
Happy Christmas! Please enjoy the horror.
