Dødens mange facetter
Hvad ville du gøre, hvis din kind en morgen gik løs fra ansigtet og du opdagede underlige symboler indenunder, eller du blev chauffør på en hjemsøgt buslinje, eller dine gæster bare ikke ville gå hjem?
Personerne i denne brogede samling historier kommer vidt omkring og udsættes for så forskellige oplevelser som tidsrejser, kidnapning, planetudforskning, en morderisk kanariefugl, en magisk konkylie, kødædende aliens, en dolkende blaffer og en mystisk myre.
Her er kvinden der belures i sit ensomme hus, manden der stjæler en lille pige, insisterende kistebærere, den paraply-stikkende funktionær, en 500 år gammel dræber fra rummet, den plagsomme kone og selveste Sherlock Holmes.
Vi ved aldrig hvor døden fører os hen.
Om vi overhovedet er levende eller døde eller måske befinder os et sted midt imellem...

Varierende noveller med døden til fælles
May 17, 2009
I've been known to say that the only short stories worth reading are those by L.M. Montgomery. I'm going to have to take that back. Dennis Jürgensen is a well-known Danish author who writes excellent fantasy and so-so horror. Seeing as this was a collection of horror short stories, my expectations weren't very high, but I ended up finishing the collection in just two sittings, because I kept thinking "Okay, just one more story.... The next one isn't that long, just one more..."
"Dødens mange facetter" can be translated to "The Many Faces of Death", but despite death being the red thread that ties the stories together, the stories are varied in style and genre and the collection ends up being neither depressing nor macabre. Death shows itself in many ways, and it's not necessarily tragic, and not necessarily tragic. And at times, it's downright humorous.
Unfortunately I doubt the collection will ever be translated to English, but if it does - or if you read Danish - I highly recommend it... even if horror isn't usually your cup of tea.

Mange små sjove noveller alle med døden som fællesnævner.
En god blanding af science fiction, realisme tilsat et stænk skævhed og så dukker Sherlock Holmes op midt i det hele

A couple of good, unpredictable stories - and a couple of strange ones, haha... Perfect as audiobook for listening to in the car!
