    Presenze. Dark tales. La serie gotica della British Library

    Quando la luna bagna i canali di una Venezia languida e tetra, un musicista insegue un canto misterioso, ignaro del potere omicida celato dietro quelle note malinconiche. Una dama rinascimentale, assassina di cinque mariti, torna in vita grazie alle letture di un giovane studioso, reso folle dalla sua bellezza crudele. Esiste seduzione senza possessione? Un viaggio oscuro tra i dedali della psiche, dove l'ossessione di un passato misterioso si trasforma in un'angoscia senza fine.

    Ossessioni

    Nelle otto storie raccolte in questo volume, qui offerte in una nuova traduzione, l'autrice si muove con vera maestria sul labile confine tra la narrativa fantastica e l'indagine psicologica, scavando nella mente e nelle emozioni anche violente dei protagonisti per creare situazioni che si sposano con strane forze ed elementi fuori dall'ordinario. A questo si aggiungono il notevole gusto per le ambientazioni e il suo modo particolare di tratteggiare le figure femminili - in special modo l'archetipo della femme fatale - e di guardare al passato e ai pericoli che comporta, tutti elementi che caratterizzano la sua scrittura e le hanno fatto guadagnare di diritto un posto speciale nel panorama della letteratura di genere, ma non solo, a cavallo tra il diciannovesimo e il ventesimo secolo. I fantasmi esistono, sono tra di noi, ma si manifestano solo quando vengono evocati dalle ossessioni, dalle passioni (e perché no, dall'odio) che provano i vivi.
