Death After Death - Glasby, Edmund

. .

Résumé :
JOIN THE DEAD AND THE DAMNED! In the best tradition of pulp fiction, Edmund Glasby's storytelling is fast-paced, fantastical, escapist and with a large dollop of Grand Guignol horror Eleven deathly tales of shapeshifters, vampires, hybrid creatures, ghouls, zombies, hauntings and mad scientists! A clever melting pot, cooking some classical ingredients of horror fiction - the supernatural sleuth, the haunted house, exorcism... and a priest holding a s?ance! (Hour of the Witch) A vivid piece of graphic horror, revisiting in an effective and quite original way, the time honoured theme of the mad scientist (Pale Lilac) An offbeat mix of crime and pulp fiction, sparkling like a glass of champagne (Angels of Death) A new collection that signifies the emergence of a major talent in horror fantasy writing!

Biographie:
As penance for past deeds, Edmund Glasby grew up in Morecambe and studied Egyptian Archaeology at University College London and Archaeology and Anthropology at Oxford... Morecambe, which has more than its share of the strange and unsavoury, provided him with a better education. After turning his back on academia, he now writes in the genres of dark fantasy and supernatural thriller, having been brought up on horror; his father was John S. Glasby the prolific supernatural writer. In 2010, his first novel was Disciple of a Dark God, a far-ranging dark fantasy epic. His first collection of all-new supernatural stories, The Dyrsgol Horror and Others was published by Borgo in 20013, and was followed by The Ash Murders, The Chaos of Chung-Fu, Ghouls of the Undercity, Labyrinth of the Lost, Dark Shadows and a novel, Weird Shadows Over Morecambe. For his UK publishers, Ulverscroft, he has also written three detective thrillers, A Murder Most Macabre, and The Postbox Murders, and The Doppelganger Deaths (forthcoming). His latest supernatural collection, Death After Death, was specially compiled for Shadow Publishing When he is not writing he is the captain of a local archery club and he has won a trophy or two both at local and European level with the English longbow he made.
