    Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror

    4.1(4026)Add rating

    Uncle Montague lives alone in a big house and his regular visits from his nephew give him the opportunity to retell some of the most frightening stories he knows. But as the stories unfold, another even more spine-tingling narrative emerges, one that is perhaps the most frightening of all. Uncle Montague's tales of terror, it transpires, are not so much works of imagination as dreadful, lurking memories. Memories of an earlier time in which Uncle Montague lived a very different life to his present solitary existence.

    At the Old Inn, which clings precariously to a cliff top above a storm-lashed ocean, two sick children are left alone while their father fetches the doctor. Then a visitor comes begging for shelter, and so begins a long night of storytelling, in which young Ethan and Cathy, who have an unnatural appetite for stories of a macabre persuasion, sit out the last throes of the storm in the company of a sailor with more than enough grisly tales to satisfy them. But something about this sailor puts Ethan on edge, and he becomes increasingly agitated for his father's return. Only when the storm blows itself out can Ethan relax - but not for long, for the new dawn opens the children's eyes to a truth more shocking, more distressing than anything they heard the night before.

    Praskající oheň v krbu, plíživé kroky křupající ve sněhu a doslova mrazivé tušení hrůzy. Ano, opět jsou tu tolik oblíbené Příšerné příběhy britského autora Chrise Priestleyho, kterého při návštěvě Prahy u příležitosti vydání českých překladů jeho knih město natolik nadchlo, že uvažuje umístit sem děj některého ze svých dalších děl. V sedmi příbězích prodchnutých tajuplnou, strašidelnou atmosférou čeká na čtenáře spousta geniálně nečekaných zvratů a samozřejmě nezbytné, hrůzu nahánějící poučení, že není radno porušovat pravidla ani psané či nepsané zákony a že zlé, zlomyslné chování je po zásluze potrestáno.
