САМО за фенове на Стивън Кинг! - 7 част

Абе ужас няма да изпитвам, ама да не се събират на едно място, чееееее 

Ох, много се измъчвам с Дума Ки. Явно нещо съм се повредила. Преполових я и още не ме е качила на гребена на вълната.  

Дума Ки според мен е различен Кинг, хубава е много, но на мен ми е различно открояваща се от останалите му книги, особено по-ранните.

Monsters In Your Closet:
А Preface by Stephen King

Few novels had the impact оn me that Dracula did. In college, even guys in my literature class talked about it, and as I read and re-read it, I realized it was the original vampire cloth from which all others had been cut. I know one thing, it scared the blооdу well-hell out of me.

The story seemed а simple оnе. А young solicitor named Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to assist Count Dracula in а real estate transaction. While the first chapter starts off pleasantly enough, Harker soon begins to note odd happenings and details of the people and events he experiences while traveling deeper and deeper into the Carpathians. Gloomy castles standing high in the mountains, odd figures half-obscured by the dark, eerie landscapes with flashing lights, and howling wolves trail Harker as he journeys ... unaware of the mystery and horrors he and his love Mina Murray are soon to become entangled with. Only with the help of such noted characters as Professor Van Helsing, John Seward, Arthur Holmwood, and Quincey Morris does good prevail over evil.

There was talk in literary circles that Stoker had been inspired by the stories of Vlad The Impaler and а few others, but had he been inspired by anything, I believe it was Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's (1814-1873) Gothic vampire novella Carmilla (1872) that was the main influence. Nobody will ever know, for Bram Stoker took the secret to his grave, but not before he penned а sequel, Dracula's Guest, which was published posthumously.

While Stoker wrote numerous novels and short stories, he is chiefly remembered today as the author of this best-selling novel.

Of all the monsters in my closet, this is the one that scares me most, and probably always will.
