Iz mrtvih (horor priče)

Edith Nesbit

"Edith Nesbith is world-famous as a writer of excellent children's novels, which have recently been made into films, but her darker oeuvre, horror stories, seem to have been deliberately neglected and suppressed.

The collection, part of the collection Horror Stories for a Good Night, consists of atmospheric stories that deal with human emotions, fears, and dealing with the unexplainable. One of the key themes is the appearance of deceased persons, such as a wife appearing to her husband, which has drawn comparisons to the works of Ksaver Šandor Gjalski (The Dream of Doctor Mišić). The stories are set in the Victorian era, reflecting the spirit of late 19th-century English literature (originally written in 1893), with an emphasis on the Gothic atmosphere and subtle tension. Although limited in genre to horror and love motifs, which sometimes stifles their artistic potential, Nesbitt's stories captivate with their simplicity of expression and powerful depiction of the human psyche, tragedy, and joy. The collection is not scary in the classical sense, but rather atmospheric, appealing to younger readers or fans of subtle horror. Nesbitt's contribution to horror literature stands out through her ability to blend the real with the supernatural, leaving an impression on readers with her emotional depth.
