The author of a popular series of college textbooks on both writing and reading, John enjoys the challenge of developing instructive materials that are clear and lively.

In addition to his wife and Philly sports teams, his passions include reading and conveying to nonreaders the pleasure and power of books.

Il pescatore

Durante un'uscita in una remota regione delle Adirondack, accompagnato dal suo amico Dan, Abe viene a conoscenza di un sinistro racconto del folklore locale su un misterioso corso d'acqua, il Dutchman's Creek, e su alcuni uomini che hanno affrontato un'esperienza terrificante nella zona. Abe e Dan, affascinati dalla leggenda, decidono di rintracciare il torrente per la loro prossima battuta di pesca, ma in quelle acque scopriranno qualcosa di inimmaginabile, una dimensione abitata da una presenza antica e ultraterrena che parla con le voci di coloro che i due uomini hanno amato e perduto. "Il Pescatore" è un romanzo contemporaneo che spinge l'orrore lovecraftiano in territori inesplorati, tra mostruosità bibliche e richiami all'opera di Herman Melville. La scrittura densa e suggestiva di John Langan esplora i temi dell'amore e del lutto, danzando tra presente e passato, per raccontarci una storia spaventosa di fragilità umana, perdita e mistero.
