John Hornor Jacobs

    John Hornor Jacobs schreibt genreübergreifende Fiktion für erwachsene und junge erwachsene Leser und verbindet Mythologien und Horror mit einer ausgeprägten Southern Gothic-Sensibilität.

Mit einem furchtlosen und frischen Ansatz vermischt Jacobs disparate Elemente und schafft so Erzählungen, die sowohl fesselnd als auch mutig sind. Seine ausgeprägte Stimme und sein erfinderisches Geschichtenerzählen machen seine Fiktion zu einer fesselnden Erkundung des Unheimlichen.

      The award-winning and critically-acclaimed master of horror returns with a pair of chilling tales that examine the violence and depravity of the human condition. Bringing together his acclaimed novella The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky and an all-new short novel My Heart Struck Sorrow, John Hornor Jacobs turns his fertile imagination to the evil that breeds within the human soul. A brilliant mix of the psychological and supernatural, blending the acute insight of Roberto Bolaño and the eerie imagination of H. P. Lovecraft, The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky examines life in a South American dictatorship. Centered on the journal of a poet-in-exile and his failed attempts at translating a maddening text, it is told by a young woman trying to come to grips with a country that nearly devoured itself. In My Heart Struck Sorrow, a librarian discovers a recording from the Deep South--which may be the musical stylings of the Devil himself. Breathtaking and haunting, A Lush and Seething Hell is a terrifying and exhilarating journey into the darkness, an odyssey into the deepest reaches of ourselves that compels us to confront secrets best left hidden.
