Seven Gothic Tales by Isak Dinesen
Sarah's review
rating:
recommended for: Short-story-ers
Besides the fact that Isak Dinesen knows how to tell a tale no matter what she's writing, she's a master of the short story. If you like Flannery O'Conner (the queen of Southern gothic), you will love this. Not gothic like pale faces and black eyeliner, remember. Gothic like "an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion, the thrill of fearfulness and awe inherent in the sublime, and a quest for atmosphere"
