Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Charles Beaumont, described by Ray Bradbury as a "pomegranate writer," showcased a vibrant imagination that produced a rich array of works. This collection features twenty-six stories that highlight Beaumont's diverse literary talents, ranging from his first professional sale, "The Devil You Say," which became a Twilight Zone episode, to the newly published "Beast of the Glacier." The collection spans various themes and styles, including the reflective science fiction of "Elegy," the subtle horror of "Mourning Song," the humor of "The Last Caper," and the poignant "Mass for Mixed Voices," which celebrates life amidst a backdrop of death. Beaumont also ventured beyond his well-known genres, contributing three stories—"The Love Master," "Genevieve, My Genevieve," and "Dead You Know"—to the men's magazine Rogue, while simultaneously writing for Playboy. His screenwriting prowess is further highlighted in "Anthem," presented in script form. Despite being written over fifty years ago, the stories remain strikingly relevant, addressing themes like the Holocaust in "The Man with the Crooked Nose" and systemic racism in "The Crimes of Willie Washington." This collection serves as a testament to Beaumont's enduring significance as a writer for all time.
